Proverbs 20:23-29 New English Translation (NET)

23. The Lord abhors differing weights,and dishonest scales are wicked.

24. The steps of a person are ordained by the Lord – so how can anyone understand his own way?

25. It is a snare for a person to rashly cry, “Holy!”and only afterward to consider what he has vowed.

26. A wise king separates out the wicked;he turns the threshing wheel over them.

27. The human spirit is like the lamp of the Lord,searching all his innermost parts.

28. Loyal love and truth preserve a king,and his throne is upheld by loyal love.

29. The glory of young men is their strength,and the splendor of old men is gray hair.
