Proverbs 20:8 meaning and explanation
A king who sits on a throne to judge sifts out all evil with his eyes.
Proverbs 20:8, Berean Standard Bible

His eyes "sift out" evil, the image being grain separated from chaff: careful scrutiny that distinguishes the guilty from the innocent rather than judging by appearance.
