Proverbs 16:28
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
The preparations of
the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue,
is
from the
L
ORD
.
2
All the ways of a man
are
clean in his own eyes; but the
L
ORD
weigheth the spirits.
3
Commit thy works unto the
L
ORD
, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4
The
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
:
though
hand
join
in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the
L
ORD
men
depart from evil.
7
When a man’s ways please the
L
ORD
, 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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
’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
L
ORD
, 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.
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
L
ORD
.
