Proverbs 20:25

²³ Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

²⁴ Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

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.
