26. A wise king winnows the wicked,and threshes them under the cartwheel.
27. A lamp from the Lord is human life-breath;it searches through the inmost being.
28. His steadfast loyalty safeguards the king,and he upholds his throne by justice.
29. The glory of the young is their strength,and the dignity of the old is gray hair.
30. Evil is cleansed away by bloody lashes,and a scourging to the inmost being.
