Proverbs 16



<< Proverbs 16 >>
American Standard Version
 

27A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.

28A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

29A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good.

30He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise perverse things: He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.

31The hoary head is a crown of glory; It shall be found in the way of righteousness.

32He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

33The lot is cast into the lap; But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah.
