Proverbs 20:26-29

New International Version - UK

²⁶ A wise king winnows out the wicked;
    he drives the threshing wheel over them.

²⁷ The human spirit is^[a] the lamp of the Lord
    that sheds light on one’s inmost being.

²⁸ Love and faithfulness keep a king safe;
    through love his throne is made secure.

²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength,
    grey hair the splendour of the old.
