V.1 The preparations 4633 of the heart 3820 in man, 120 and the answer 4617 of the tongue, 3956 [is] from the LORD. 3068

16:2 All the ways 1870 of a man 376 [are] clean 2134 in his own eyes; 5869 but the LORD 3068 weigheth 8505-6 the spirits. 7307

16:3 Commit 1556-3 thy works 4639 unto the LORD, 3068 and thy thoughts 4284 shall be established. 3559-11

16:4 The LORD 3068 hath made 6466-1 all [things] for himself: 4617 yea, even the wicked 7563 for the day 3117 of evil. 7451

16:5 Every one [that is] proud 1362 in heart 3820 [is] an abomination 8441 to the LORD: 3068 [though] hand 3027 [join] in hand, 3027 he shall not be unpunished. 5352-11

16:6 By mercy 2617 and truth 571 iniquity 5771 is purged: 3722-29 and by the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 [men] depart 5493-2 from evil. 7451

16:7 When a man's 376 ways 1870 please 7521-2 the LORD, 3068 he maketh even his enemies 341-6 to be at peace 7999-55 with him.

16:8 Better 2896 [is] a little 4592 with righteousness 6666 than great 7230 revenues 8393 without right. 4941

16:9 A man's 120 heart 3820 deviseth 2803-17 his way: 1870 but the LORD 3068 directeth 3559-55 his steps. 6806

16:10 A divine sentence 7081 [is] in the lips 8193 of the king: 4428 his mouth 6310 transgresseth 4603-4 not in judgment. 4941

16:11 A just 4941 weight 6425 and balance 3976 [are] the LORD'S: 3068 all the weights 68 of the bag 3599 [are] his work. 4639

16:12 [It is] an abomination 8441 to kings 4428 to commit 6213-2 wickedness: 7562 for the throne 3678 is established 3559-11 by righteousness. 6666

16:13 Righteous 6664 lips 8193 [are] the delight 7522 of kings; 4428 and they love 157-4 him that speaketh 1696-6 right. 3477

16:14 The wrath 2534 of a king 4428 [is as] messengers 4397 of death: 4194 but a wise 2450 man 376 will pacify 3722-17 it.

16:15 In the light 216 of the king's 4428 countenance 6440 [is] life; 2416 and his favour 7522 [is] as a cloud 5645 of the latter rain. 4456

16:16 How much better 2896 [is it] to get 7069-2 wisdom 2451 than gold! 2742 and to get 7069-2 understanding 998 rather to be chosen 977-12 than silver! 3701

16:17 The highway 4546 of the upright 3477 [is] to depart 5493-2 from evil: 7451 he that keepeth 5341-6 his way 1870 preserveth 8104-6 his soul. 5315

16:18 Pride 1347 [goeth] before 6440 destruction, 7667 and an haughty 1363 spirit 7307 before 6440 a fall. 3783

16:19 Better 2896 [it is to be] of an humble 8217 spirit 7307 with the lowly, 6035|6041-k than to divide 2505-15 the spoil 7998 with the proud. 1343

16:20 He that handleth a matter 1697 wisely 7919-56 shall find 4672-4 good: 2896 and whoso trusteth 982-6 in the LORD, 3068 happy 835 [is] he.

16:21 The wise 2450 in heart 3820 shall be called 7121-11 prudent: 995-12 and the sweetness 4986 of the lips 8193 increaseth 3254-55 learning. 3948

16:22 Understanding 7922 [is] a wellspring 4726 of life 2416 unto him that hath 1167 it: but the instruction 4148 of fools 191 [is] folly. 200

16:23 The heart 3820 of the wise 2450 teacheth 7919-55 his mouth, 6310 and addeth 3254-55 learning 3948 to his lips. 8193

16:24 Pleasant 5278 words 561 [are as] an honeycomb, 6688 1706 sweet 4966 to the soul, 5315 and health 4832 to the bones. 6106

16:25 There is 3426 a way 1870 that seemeth right 3477 unto 6440 a man, 376 but the end thereof 319 [are] the ways 1870 of death. 4194

16:26 He 5315 that laboureth 6001 laboureth 5998-1 for himself; for his mouth 6310 craveth 404-1 it of him.

16:27 An ungodly 1100 man 376 diggeth 3738-6 up evil: 7451 and in his lips 8193 [there is] as a burning 6867 fire. 784

16:28 A froward 8419 man 376 soweth 7971-17 strife: 4066 and a whisperer 5372 separateth 6504-56 chief friends. 441

16:29 A violent 2555 man 376 enticeth 6601-17 his neighbour, 7453 and leadeth 3212-52 him into the way 1870 [that is] not good. 2896

16:30 He shutteth 6095-6 his eyes 5869 to devise 2803-2 froward things: 8419 moving 7169-6 his lips 8193 he bringeth evil 7451 to pass. 3615-14

16:31 The hoary head 7872 [is] a crown 5850 of glory, 8597 [if] it be found 4672-11 in the way 1870 of righteousness. 6666

16:32 [He that is] slow 750 to anger 639 [is] better 2896 than the mighty; 1368 and he that ruleth 4910-6 his spirit 7307 than he that taketh 3920-6 a city. 5892
