Proverbs 20:25 Context
23Diuers waights are an abomination vnto the Lord: and a false ballance is not good. 24Mans goings are of the Lord; how can a man then vnderstand his owne way? 25It is a snare to the man who deuoureth that which is holy: and after vowes, to make inquirie. 26A wise king scattereth the wicked, & bringeth the wheele ouer them. 27The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
