Verse 21 is found in chapter 20 of Proverbs. These proverbs warn against assuming another person’s debts without discernment, obtaining bread through deception, and accepting rumors without verification. Prudence requires asking and examining before acting. False scales appear again as a symbol of fraud, confirming that economic justice is a constant concern in Proverbs. The passage trains the reader to distrust both easy profits and unverified information.

Das Erbe, darnach man zuerst sehr eilt wird zuletzt nicht gesegnet sein.
La herencia adquirida de priesa al principio, Aun su postrimería no será bendita.
Un héritage promptement acquis dès l'origine Ne sera pas béni quand viendra la fin.
L’eredità acquistata di subito da principio Non sarà benedetta alla fine
A herança que no princípio é adquirida às pressas, no fim não será abençoada.
起初很快得來的產業, 終久卻不是福。
