  • 8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
  • 9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
  • 10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
  • 11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

  • 16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
  • 17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
  • 18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
  • 19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
  • 20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

  • 24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
  • 25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
  • 26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
  • 27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
  • 28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
  • 29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
  • 30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
