Proverbs 20:23-30 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

23. Differing weights are an abomination to יהוה, And a false scale is not good.

24. The steps of a man are from יהוה; What does a man know about his own way?

25. It is a snare for a man to say rashly, “It is set-apart,” And only later to reconsider his vows.

26. A wise sovereign winnows out the wrong, And turns the wheel over them.

27. The spirit of a man is the lamp of יהוה, Searching all his inmost parts.

28. Kindness and truth watch over the sovereign, And he shall support his throne by kindness.

29. The comeliness of young men is their strength, And the splendour of old men is their grey hair.

30. The blows that wound cleanse away evil, And strokes the inner parts of the heart.
