Proverbs

²⁴A man’s goings are of Jehovah; How then can man understand his way? ²⁵It is a snare to a man rashly to say, It is holy, And after vows to make inquiry. ²⁶A wise king winnoweth the wicked, And bringeth the threshing -wheel over them. ²⁷The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, Searching all his innermost parts. ²⁸Kindness and truth preserve the king; And his throne is upholden by kindness. ²⁹The glory of young men is their strength; And the beauty of old men is the hoary head. ³⁰Stripes that wound cleanse away evil; And strokes reach the innermost parts.
