Chapter 16

1


 

  The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, are 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 to the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.  

 

 

--

4


 

  The LORD hath made all things for himself: yes, 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 a king's countenance is life; and his favor 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 a haughty spirit before a fall.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.  

 

 

--

20


 

  He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoever 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 well-spring of life to 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 a honey-comb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.  

 

 

--

25


 

  There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.  

 

 

--

26


 

  He that laboreth laboreth 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 neighbor, 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 is 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 of it is from the LORD.
