Proverbs 20:9


Proverbs 20:8 Proverbs 20:9 (KJV) Proverbs 20:10
A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
Divers weights, [and] divers measures, both of them [are] alike abomination to the LORD.
