Proverbs 20:24


← Proverbs 20:23 Proverbs 20:24 (KJV) Proverbs 20:25 →
Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
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.
