Proverbs 20:28 BBE

²⁶  A wise king puts evil-doers to flight, and makes their evil-doing come back on them.

²⁷  The Lord keeps watch over the spirit of man, searching all the deepest parts of the body.

²⁸  Mercy and good faith keep the king safe, and the seat of his power is based on upright acts.

²⁹  The glory of young men is their strength, and the honour of old men is their grey hairs.

³⁰  By the wounds of the rod evil is taken away, and blows make clean the deepest parts of the body.
