A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.
The spirit of man is the LORD’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts.
Love and faithfulness keep the king safe.
His throne is sustained by love.
The glory of young men is their strength.
The splendor of old men is their gray hair.
Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.
