Proverbs 20:20
Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
In context
18Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!
19He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
20Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
21An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning, won’t be blessed in the end.
22Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.
