25 It is a snare to humankind to say rashly “It is holy,” and after vows, to scrutinize.
26 A wise king winnows the wicked, and he will drive a wheel over them.
27 The lamp of Yahweh is the spirit of humankind, he who searches every innermost part.
28 Loyalty and faithfulness will preserve a king, and he is upheld with the righteousness of his throne.
29 The glory of young men is their strength, but the beauty of the aged is gray hair.
30 The blows of a wound will cleanse evil, as will beatings of the innermost part.
