24The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?
25It is ruin to a man to devour holy ones, and after vows to retract.
26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth over them the wheel.
27The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, which searcheth all the hidden things of the bowels.
28Mercy and truth preserve the king, and his throne is strengthened by clemency.
29The joy of young men is their strength: and the dignity of old men, their grey hairs.
30The blueness of a wound shall wipe away evils: and stripes in the more inward parts of the belly.
