Proverbs 20:23-29

²³A double weight is an abomination to the Lord; And a deceitful balance is not good in his sight.

²⁴A man’s goings are directed of the Lord: How then can a mortal understand his ways?

²⁵It is a snare to a man hastily to consecrate some of his own property: For in that case repentance comes after vowing.

²⁶A wise king utterly crushes the ungodly, And will bring a wheel upon them.

²⁷The spirit of man is a light of the Lord, Who searches the inmost parts of the belly.

²⁸Mercy and truth are a guard to a king, And will surround his throne with righteousness.

²⁹Wisdom is an ornament to young men; And gray hairs are the glory of old men.
