Book 20 : PROVERBS - Chapter 016

016:001

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits

016:002

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established

016:003

The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil

016:004

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished

016:005

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil

016:006

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him

016:007

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right

016:008

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps

016:009

A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment

016:010

A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work

016:011

It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness

016:012

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right

016:013

The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it

016:014

In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain

016:015

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver

016:016

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul

016:017

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall

016:018

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

016:019

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he

016:020

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning

016:021

Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly

016:022

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips

016:023

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones

016:024

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death

016:025

He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him

016:026

An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire

016:027

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends

016:028

A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good

016:029

He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass

016:030

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness

016:031

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city

016:032

The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD
