Proverbs 20:8-18

8 Whenever a righteous king sits on the throne, no evil thing can stand before his presence.

9 Who will boast that he has a pure heart? or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins?

10 A large and small weight, and divers measures, are even both of them unclean before the Lord; and he that makes them.

11 A youth with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, and his way will be straight.

12 The ear hears, and the eye sees: even both of them are the Lord's work.

13 Love not to speak ill, lest thou be cut off: open thine eyes, and be filled with bread.
