Proverbs 20:22-30

22 Say not thou, I will take vengeance, but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
23 Double weights are an abomination unto the LORD, and a false balance is not good.
24 Man’s steps are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
25 It is a snare unto man to devour that which is holy and afterward to reconsider his vows.
26 A wise king scatters the wicked and brings the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the fire of the LORD, which searches the secrets of the inward parts.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king, and his throne is upheld by mercy.
29 The glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is the gray head.
30 The scars of past wounds are medicine for evil, and living reproof reaches the most secret places in the inward parts.
