Proverbs 20:25-27
Wycliffe Bible

25 (A) Falling of man is to make (an) avow to (the) saints, and (then) afterward to withdraw the vows.

26 A wise king scattereth wicked men; and boweth a bow of victory, that is, a stone bow, over them.

27 The lantern of the Lord is the spirit of man, that seeketh out all the privates of the womb. (The spirit of people is the lantern of the Lord, and it seeketh out all our innermost secrets.)

    that sheds light on one’s inmost being.(D)
