Proverbs 20:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 A lamp from the Lord is human life-breath;
it searches through the inmost being.[a]
28 His steadfast loyalty safeguards the king,
and he upholds his throne by justice.(A)
29 The glory of the young is their strength,
and the dignity of the old is gray hair.(B)
