Proverbs 20:24-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
24
A man’s steps are
ordained
by the
Lord
;
How then can a person understand his way?
25
It is a trap for a person to say carelessly, 'It is holy!'
And after the vows to make inquiry.
26
A wise king scatters the wicked,
And drives a
threshing
wheel over them.
27
The spirit of a person is the lamp of the
Lord
,
Searching all the innermost parts of his being.
28
Loyalty and truth watch over the king,
And he upholds his throne by loyalty.
King James Version
Chapter 20
24
Man's goings are of the
Lord
; how can a man then understand his own way?
25
It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
26
A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
27
The spirit of man is the candle of the
Lord
, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28
Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20

Even a courageous person’s steps are determined by the
Lord
,
so how can anyone understand his own way?

and later to reconsider his vows.
26
A wise king separates out the wicked
and drives the threshing wheel over them.
27
The
Lord
’s lamp sheds light on a person’s life,
searching the innermost parts.
28
Loyalty and faithfulness guard a king;
through loyalty he maintains his throne.
New Living Translation

24
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.
26
A wise king scatters the wicked like wheat,
then runs his threshing wheel over them.
27
The
Lord
’s light penetrates the human spirit,
exposing every hidden motive.
28
Unfailing love and faithfulness protect the king;
his throne is made secure through love.
English Standard Version
