Proverbs 20:28-30

Authorized (King James) Version

²⁸ Mercy and truth preserve the king:
    and his throne is upholden by mercy.

²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength:
    and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

³⁰ The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil:
    so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
