23 The Lord detests differing weights,and dishonest scales do not please him.
24 A person’s steps are directed by the Lord.How then can anyone understand their own way?
25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashlyand only later to consider one’s vows.
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked;he drives the threshing wheel over them.
27 The human spirit is the lamp of the Lordthat sheds light on one’s inmost being.
28 Love and faithfulness keep a king safe;through love his throne is made secure.
29 The glory of young men is their strength,grey hair the splendour of the old.
