Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 016
| |
| 016:001 | The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
|
| 016:002 | All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
|
| 016:003 | Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
|
| 016:004 | The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
|
| 016:005 | Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
|
| 016:006 | By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
|
| 016:007 | When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
|
| 016:008 | Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
|
| 016:009 | A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
|
| 016:010 | A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
|
| 016:011 | A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
|
| 016:012 | It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
|
| 016:013 | Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
|
| 016:014 | The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
|
| 016:015 | In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
|
| 016:016 | How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
|
| 016:017 | The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
|
| 016:018 | Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
|
| 016:019 | Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
|
| 016:020 | He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
|
| 016:021 | The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
|
| 016:022 | Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
|
| 016:023 | The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
|
| 016:024 | Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
|
| 016:025 | There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
|
| 016:026 | He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
|
| 016:027 | An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
|
| 016:028 | A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
|
| 016:029 | A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
|
| 016:030 | He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
|
| 016:031 | The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
|
| 016:032 | He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
|
| 016:033 | The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD. |
