Proverbs 16 (KJV) 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.
