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 grey hairs are the glory of old men.
30Bruises and contusions befall bad men; and plagues shall come into the inward parts of their belly.
