Proverbs 20:25-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
25 It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and begin to reflect only after making a vow.(A)
26 A wise king winnows the wicked
and drives the wheel over them.
27 The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord,
searching every inmost part.(B)
Proverbs 20:25-27
New International Version
25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.(A)
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked;
he drives the threshing wheel over them.(B)
