Proverbs 16
1
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD.
2
All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4
The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5
Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD [men] depart from evil.
7
When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8
Better [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
10
A divine sentence [is] in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11
A just weight and balance [are] the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag [are] his work.
12
[It is] an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13
Righteous lips [are] the delight of kings and they love him that speaketh right.
14
The wrath of a king [is as] messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15
In the light of the king's countenance [is] life and his favour [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.
16
How much better [is it] to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17
The highway of the upright [is] to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18
Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19
Better [it is to be] of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy [is] he.
21
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22
Understanding [is] a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools [is] folly.
23
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24
Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.
26
He that laboureth laboureth for himself for his mouth craveth it of him.
27
An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips [there is] as a burning fire.
28
A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29
A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way [that is] not good.
30
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31
The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.
32
[He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33
The lot is cast into the lap but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
