Proverbs 20:28-30
Contemporary English Version
28 Rulers are protected
by God's mercy and loyalty,
but[a] they must be merciful
for their kingdoms to last.
29 Young people take pride
in their strength,
but the gray hairs of wisdom
are even more beautiful.
30 A severe beating can knock all
of the evil out of you!
