The Lord directs our steps,
so why try to understand everything along the way?
Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God
and only later counting the cost.
A wise king scatters the wicked like wheat,
then runs his threshing wheel over them.
The Lord’s light penetrates the human spirit,[c]
exposing every hidden motive.
Unfailing love and faithfulness protect the king;
his throne is made secure through love.
The glory of the young is their strength;
the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old.
Physical punishment cleanses away evil;[d]
such discipline purifies the heart.
-Proverbs 20:24-30 NLT
