Whenever a righteous king sits on the throne, no evil thing can stand before his presence.

Who will boast that he has a pure heart? or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins?

A large and small weight, and divers measures, are even both of them unclean before the Lord; and [so is] he that makes them.

A youth [when in company] with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, and [then] his way will be straight.

The ear hears, and the eye sees: even both of them are the Lord's work.

A portion hastily gotten at first shall not be blessed in the end.

Say not, I will avenge myself on my enemy; but wait on the Lord, that he may help thee.
23 [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh a weight and a weight and balances of deceit not [are] good.
A double weight is an abomination to the Lord; and a deceitful balance is not good in his sight.
24 [are] from Yahweh [the] steps of a man and anyone what? will he understand own way his.
A man's goings are directed of the Lord: how then can a mortal understand his ways?
25 A snare of a person he may say rashly holiness and after [the] vows to consider.
It is a snare to a man hastily to consecrate some of his own property: for [in that case] repentance comes after vowing.
