b'Proverbs 2024 The steps of man are ruled by the Lord: how can a man then understand his own way?25 It is a destruction for a man to devour that which is sanctified, and after the vows to inquire.26 A wise King scattereth the wicked, and causeth the wheel to turn over them.27 The light of the Lord is the breath of man, and searcheth all the bowels of the belly.28 Mercy and truth preserve the King: for his throne shall be established with mercy.29 The beauty of young men is their strength, and the glory of the aged is the gray head.30 The blueness of the wound serveth to purge the evil, and the stripes within the bowels of the belly.85'
