Proverbs 20:24 Context
22Say not thou, I will recompence euil: but wait on the Lord, and he shall saue thee. 23Diuers waights are an abomination vnto the Lord: and a false ballance is not good. 24Mans goings are of the Lord; how can a man then vnderstand his owne way? 25It is a snare to the man who deuoureth that which is holy: and after vowes, to make inquirie. 26A wise king scattereth the wicked, & bringeth the wheele ouer them.
