Chapter 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 has 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 makes 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 goes 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 has 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 of it 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 rules his spirit than he that taketh a city. |
|
33. |
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing of it is of the Lord. |
