American Standard Version

Proverbs 20:24-30 American Standard Version (ASV)

24. A man’s goings are of Jehovah; How then can man understand his way?

25. It is a snare to a man rashly to say, It is holy, And after vows to make inquiry.

26. A wise king winnoweth the wicked, And bringeth the threshing -wheel over them.

27. The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, Searching all his innermost parts.

28. Kindness and truth preserve the king; And his throne is upholden by kindness.

29. The glory of young men is their strength; And the beauty of old men is the hoary head.

30. Stripes that wound cleanse away evil; And strokes reach the innermost parts.
