Proverbs 20:25-30

25 It is a snare to dedicate a gift to God rashly and reflect on the vows only afterwards.

26 A wise king winnows the wicked [from the righteous] and threshes them under the cartwheel.

27 The human spirit is a lamp of ADONAI; it searches one's inmost being.

28 Grace and truth preserve a king; with grace he upholds his throne.

29 The pride of the young is their strength; the dignity of the old is gray hair.

30 Blows that wound purge away evil, yes, beatings [cleanse] one's inmost being.
