New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Proverbs 20
25 It is a trap for a man to say rashly, "It is holy!" And after the vows to make inquiry.
26 A wise king winnows the wicked, And drives the threshing wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching all the innermost parts of his being.
28 Loyalty and truth preserve the king, And he upholds his throne by righteousness.
29 The glory of young men is their strength, And the honor of old men is their gray hair.
30 Stripes that wound scour away evil, And strokes reach the innermost parts.
Proverbs 21
1 The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes.
2 Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice Is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.
4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart, The lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
