Proverbs 20:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Gracious love and truth preserve a king;
    through love his throne is made secure.

²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength;
    and the splendor of elders is their gray hair.

³⁰ Blows that wound clean away evil;
    such beatings cleanse^[a] the innermost being.
