17 Sweet to a man [is] the bread of falsehood, And afterwards is his mouth filled [with] gravel.

Source Text Study
Relevant source witnesses currently attached to Proverbs 20:17. Some ancient sources use different book or verse structures, so availability notes call out gaps honestly instead of forcing five panels everywhere.

How to read this study data
Source panels are separated by tradition and license. Imported or dataset-backed morphology is stronger than generated or rule-aligned morphology, and editorial alignment notes explain source-structure exceptions without pretending to be ancient source text.
When a verse uses different numbering in a source tradition, Spirit Nation may show the closest mapped source reference and label it directly on the panel.

Spirit Nation Greek LXX Alignment Note

Coverage: Source-structure exceptions
Explains reader references where the imported tradition does not align one-to-one.
Editorial alignment note: The Greek Septuagint tradition often follows different ordering, grouping, or book structure here. Reader-side public-domain text for this reference: "Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel." This panel is a study bridge only, not a replacement for an ancient source witness.
