Proverbs
Chapters 20:23-29
New International Version Anglicized
23The Lord detests differing weights,and dishonest scales do not please him.
24A person’s steps are directed by the Lord.How then can anyone understand their own way?
25It is a trap to dedicate something rashlyand only later to consider one’s vows.
26A wise king winnows out the wicked;he drives the threshing wheel over them.
27The human spirit is the lamp of the Lordthat sheds light on one’s inmost being.
28Love and faithfulness keep a king safe;through love his throne is made secure.
29The glory of young men is their strength,grey hair the splendour of the old.
