Proverbs 20:26–30

26 A wise king will find out who is doing wrong, and will punish him without pity.

27 The Lord gave us mind and conscience; we cannot hide from ourselves.

28 A king will remain in power as long as his rule is honest, just, and fair.

29 We admire the strength of youth and respect the grey hair of age.

30 Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways.
