Proverbs 16NO HIGHLIGHTSHIGHLIGHTS 16:1 The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. 16:2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits. 16:3 Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established. 16:4 The LORD has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom. 16:5 Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished. 16:6 In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil. 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 16:8 Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice. 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. 16:10 Divination is on the lips of the king; His mouth must not transgress in judgment. 16:11 Honest weights and scales are the LORD'S; All the weights in the bag are His work. 16:12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, For a throne is established by righteousness. 16:13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right. 16:14 As messengers of death is the king's wrath, But a wise man will appease it. 16:15 In the light of the king's face is life, And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain. 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. 16:17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul. 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. 16:19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. 16:20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he. 16:21 The wise in heart will be called prudent, And sweetness of the lips increases learning. 16:22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it. But the correction of fools is folly. 16:23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, And adds learning to his lips. 16:24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 16:26 The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on. 16:27 An ungodly man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire. 16:28 A perverse man sows strife, And a whisperer separates the best of friends. 16:29 A violent man entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good. 16:30 He winks his eye to devise perverse things; He purses his lips and brings about evil. 16:31 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness. 16:32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.
