23 The Lord detests false weights;deceptive scales aren’t right.
24 A person’s steps are from the Lord;how then can people understand their path?
25 It is a snare to say rashly, "It is holy,"and only reflect after making the promise.
26 A wise king sifts out the wicked,and runs them over with a wheel.
27 The breath of a person is the lamp of the Lord,searching all the inmost parts.
28 Kindness and faithfulness protect the king;he supports his throne by kindness.
29 Strength is the glory of young men;gray hair is the splendor of old age.
