Proverbs 20:24-26

New Life Version

²⁴A man’s steps are decided by the Lord. How can anyone understand his own way?

²⁵It is a trap for a man to say without thinking, “It is holy,” and then later think more about what he has promised.

²⁶A wise king puts the sinful aside and crushes the grain over them.

How then can anyone understand their own way?^(C)

²⁵It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.^(D)

²⁶A wise king winnows out the wicked;
he drives the threshing wheel over them.^(E)
