Proverbs 20:22-30

22 Do not say, "I will repay evil"; wait for the LORD, and he will help you.

23 Diverse weights are an abomination to the LORD, and false scales are not good.

24 A man's steps are ordered by the LORD; how then can man understand his way?

25 It is a snare for a man to say rashly, "It is holy," and to reflect only after making his vows.

26 A wise king winnows the wicked, and drives the wheel over them.

27 The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all his innermost parts.

28 Loyalty and faithfulness preserve the king, and his throne is upheld by righteousness.

29 The glory of young men is their strength, but the beauty of old men is their gray hair.

30 Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts.
