Proverbs 20:24

Foolproof Instructions

²³ Differing weights are an abomination to the Lord,
And a false scale is not good.
²⁴ Man’s steps are ordained by the Lord,
How then can man understand his way?
²⁵ It is a trap for a man to say rashly, “It is holy!”
And after the vows to make inquiry.

From the Lord

It is the Lord

Jehovah

but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

Acts 17:28
