23 A double standard of weights is disgusting to the Lord,and dishonest scales are no good.
24 The Lord is the one who directs a person’s steps.How then can anyone understand his own way?
25 It is a trap for a person to say impulsively, “This is a holy offering!”and later to have second thoughts about those vows.
26 A wise king scatters the wickedand then runs them over.
27 A person’s soul is the Lord’s lamp.It searches his entire innermost being.
28 Mercy and truth protect a king,and with mercy he maintains his throne.
29 While the glory of young men is their strength,the splendor of older people is their silver hair.
