Proverbs
Chapters 20:25-30
New International Version Anglicized
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.
30Blows and wounds scrub away evil,and beatings purge the inmost being.
