Proverbs 20:22-30

22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee.

23 Diverse weights are an abomination to Jehovah; And a false balance is not good.

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.
