In context

6A man is valuable, and a merciful man precious: But it is hard to find a faithful man.

7He that walks blameless in justice, Shall leave his children blessed.

— Proverbs 20:8 —

9Who will boast that he has a pure heart? Or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins? a The lamp of him that reviles father or mother shall be put out, And his eyeballs shall see darkness. b A portion hastily gotten at first Shall not be blessed in the end. c Say not, I will avenge myself on my enemy; But wait on the Lord, that he may help thee.

10A large and small weight, and diverse measures, Are even both of them unclean before the Lord; And so is he that makes them.
