8 When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes.
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment winnows all evil with his eyes.
8 Leaders who know their business and care keep a sharp eye out for the shoddy and cheap,
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment Scatters all evil with his eyes.
8 When a king sits in judgment, he weighs all the evidence, distinguishing the bad from the good.
