Proverbs 20:24

Foolproof Instructions

²³ Differing weights are detestable to the Lord,
and dishonest scales are unfair. ²⁴ A man’s steps are determined by the Lord,
so how can anyone understand his own way? ²⁵ It is a trap for anyone to dedicate something rashly
and later to reconsider his vows.

From the Lord

It is the Lord

against a people destined for My rage,
to take spoils, to plunder,
and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

Daniel 5:23

Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you and your nobles, wives, and concubines drank wine from them, you praised the gods made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or understand. But you have not glorified the God who holds your life-breath in His hand and who controls the whole course of your life.

Acts 17:28

For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’
