Proverbs 20:25-30

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.
