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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
