Proverbs 20:24-28

²⁴Yahweh is the one who has decided what will happen to us, so ◄how can we ‘understand/know’ what will happen before it happens?/we humans certainly cannot ‘understand/know’ what will happen before it happens.► RHQ

²⁵You should think carefully before you solemnly promise to dedicate something to God, because later you might be sorry you have promised to do it.

²⁶Wise kings find out MET which people have done what is wrong, and they punish them very severely IDM.

²⁷Our consciences are like lamps that Yahweh has given to us to enable us to know what we are thinking MET; they reveal what is hidden deep in our ◄minds/inner beings►.

²⁸Kings will continue to rule as long as they faithfully love their people and are loyal to them and as long as they rule righteously/fairly.
