Proverbs 20:8 Context
6Most men will proclaime euery one his owne goodnes: but a faithfull man who can finde? 7The iust man walketh in his integritie: his children are blessed after him. 8A king that sitteth in the throne of iudgement, scattereth away all euill with his eyes. 9Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane, I am pure from my sinne? 10Diuers weights, and diuers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.
