Proverbs 20:28-30

American Standard Version

²⁸ Kindness and truth preserve the king;
And ^[a]his throne is upholden by kindness.
²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength;
And the beauty of old men is the hoary head.
³⁰ Stripes that wound cleanse away evil;
And strokes reach the innermost parts.
