Proverbs 20:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 When rulers decide cases,
they weigh the evidence.
9 Can any of us really say,
“My thoughts are pure,
and my sins are gone”?
10 Two things the Lord hates
are dishonest scales
and dishonest measures.
Proverbs 20:8-10
New King James Version
Proverbs 20:8-10
New King James Version
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment
Scatters all evil with his eyes.
9 (A)Who can say, “I have made my heart clean,
I am pure from my sin”?
10 (B)Diverse weights and diverse measures,
They are both alike, an abomination to the Lord.
