Proverbs Chapter 16
|
|||
|
|
1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the motives.
|
|||
|
|
3 Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.
|
|||
|
|
4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
|
|||
|
|
5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh; they shall certainly not be unpunished.
|
|||
|
|
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
|
|||
|
|
7 When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
|
|||
|
|
8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.
|
|||
|
|
9 A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.
|
|||
|
|
10 Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth.
|
|||
|
|
11 Honest balances and scales are Yahweh’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.
|
|||
|
|
12 It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
|
|||
|
|
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
|
|||
|
|
14 The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
|
|||
|
|
15 In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
|
|||
|
|
16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
|
|||
|
|
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
|
|||
|
|
18 Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
|
|||
|
|
19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud.
|
|||
|
|
20 He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed.
|
|||
|
|
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.
|
|||
|
|
22 Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.
|
|||
|
|
23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
|
|||
|
|
24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
|
|||
|
|
25 There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
|
|||
|
|
26 The appetite of the laboring man labors for him, for his mouth urges him on.
|
|||
|
|
27 A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.
|
|||
|
|
28 A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.
|
|||
|
|
29 A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.
|
|||
|
|
30 One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.
|
|||
|
|
31 Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.
|
|||
|
|
32 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
|
|||
|
|
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh.
