23 The Lord hates dishonest weights,and dishonest scales do not please him.
24 The Lord decides what a person will do;no one understands what his life is all about.
25 It’s dangerous to promise something to God too quickly.After you’ve thought about it, it may be too late.
26 A wise king sorts out the evil people,and he punishes them as they deserve.
27 The Lord looks deep inside peopleand searches through their thoughts.
28 Loyalty and truth keep a king in power;he continues to rule if he is loyal.
29 The young glory in their strength,and the old are honored for their gray hair.
