Proverbs 16:1-33

16:1
The preparations
<04633>
of the heart
<03820>
in man
<0120>_,
and the answer
<04617>
of the tongue
<03956>_,
[is] from the LORD
<03068>_.
{preparations: or, disposings}
16:2
All the ways
<01870>
of a man
<0376>
[are] clean
<02134>
in his own eyes
<05869>_;
but the LORD
<03068>
weigheth
<08505> (8802)
the spirits
<07307>_.
16:3
Commit
<01556> (8798)
thy works
<04639>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and thy thoughts
<04284>
shall be established
<03559> (8735)_.
{Commit: Heb. Roll}
16:4
The LORD
<03068>
hath made
<06466> (8804)
all [things] for himself
<04617>_:
yea, even the wicked
<07563>
for the day
<03117>
of evil
<07451>_.
16:5
Every one [that is] proud
<01362>
in heart
<03820>
[is] an abomination
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
[though] hand
<03027>
[join] in hand
<03027>_,
he shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_.
{unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
16:6
By mercy
<02617>
and truth
<0571>
iniquity
<05771>
is purged
<03722> (8792)_:
and by the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
[men] depart
<05493> (8800)
from evil
<07451>_.
16:7
When a man's
<0376>
ways
<01870>
please
<07521> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>_,
he maketh even his enemies
<0341> (8802)
to be at peace
<07999> (8686)
with him.
16:8
Better
<02896>
[is] a little
<04592>
with righteousness
<06666>
than great
<07230>
revenues
<08393>
without right
<04941>_.
16:9
A man's
<0120>
heart
<03820>
deviseth
<02803> (8762)
his way
<01870>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
directeth
<03559> (8686)
his steps
<06806>_.
16:10
A divine sentence
<07081>
[is] in the lips
<08193>
of the king
<04428>_:
his mouth
<06310>
transgresseth
<04603> (8799)
not in judgment
<04941>_.
{A divine...: Heb. Divination}
16:11
A just
<04941>
weight
<06425>
and balance
<03976>
[are] the LORD'S
<03068>_:
all the weights
<068>
of the bag
<03599>
[are] his work
<04639>_.
{the weights: Heb. the stones}
16:12
[It is] an abomination
<08441>
to kings
<04428>
to commit
<06213> (8800)
wickedness
<07562>_:
for the throne
<03678>
is established
<03559> (8735)
by righteousness
<06666>_.
16:13
Righteous
<06664>
lips
<08193>
[are] the delight
<07522>
of kings
<04428>_;
and they love
<0157> (8799)
him that speaketh
<01696> (8802)
right
<03477>_.
16:14
The wrath
<02534>
of a king
<04428>
[is as] messengers
<04397>
of death
<04194>_:
but a wise
<02450>
man
<0376>
will pacify
<03722> (8762)
it.
16:15
In the light
<0216>
of the king's
<04428>
countenance
<06440>
[is] life
<02416>_;
and his favour
<07522>
[is] as a cloud
<05645>
of the latter rain
<04456>_.
16:16
How much better
<02896>
[is it] to get
<07069> (8800)
wisdom
<02451>
than gold
<02742>_!
and to get
<07069> (8800)
understanding
<0998>
rather to be chosen
<0977> (8737)
than silver
<03701>_!
16:17
The highway
<04546>
of the upright
<03477>
[is] to depart
<05493> (8800)
from evil
<07451>_:
he that keepeth
<05341> (8802)
his way
<01870>
preserveth
<08104> (8802)
his soul
<05315>_.
16:18
Pride
<01347>
[goeth] before
<06440>
destruction
<07667>_,
and an haughty
<01363>
spirit
<07307>
before
<06440>
a fall
<03783>_.
16:19
Better
<02896>
[it is to be] of an humble
<08217>
spirit
<07307>
with the lowly
<06035> (8675) <06041>_,
than to divide
<02505> (8763)
the spoil
<07998>
with the proud
<01343>_.
16:20
He that handleth a matter
<01697>
wisely
<07919> (8688)
shall find
<04672> (8799)
good
<02896>_:
and whoso trusteth
<0982> (8802)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
happy
<0835>
[is] he. {handleth...: or, understandeth a matter}
16:21
The wise
<02450>
in heart
<03820>
shall be called
<07121> (8735)
prudent
<0995> (8737)_:
and the sweetness
<04986>
of the lips
<08193>
increaseth
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>_.
16:22
Understanding
<07922>
[is] a wellspring
<04726>
of life
<02416>
unto him that hath
<01167>
it: but the instruction
<04148>
of fools
<0191>
[is] folly
<0200>_.
16:23
The heart
<03820>
of the wise
<02450>
teacheth
<07919> (8686)
his mouth
<06310>_,
and addeth
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>
to his lips
<08193>_.
{teacheth: Heb. maketh wise}
16:24
Pleasant
<05278>
words
<0561>
[are as] an honeycomb
<06688> <01706>_,
sweet
<04966>
to the soul
<05315>_,
and health
<04832>
to the bones
<06106>_.
16:25
There is
<03426>
a way
<01870>
that seemeth right
<03477>
unto
<06440>
a man
<0376>_,
but the end
<0319>
thereof [are] the ways
<01870>
of death
<04194>_.
16:26
He
<05315>
that laboureth
<06001>
laboureth
<05998> (8804)
for himself; for his mouth
<06310>
craveth
<0404> (8804)
it of him. {He...: Heb. The soul of him that} {craveth...: Heb. boweth unto him}
16:27
An ungodly
<01100>
man
<0376>
diggeth up
<03738> (8802)
evil
<07451>_:
and in his lips
<08193>
[there is] as a burning
<06867>
fire
<0784>_.
{An...: Heb. A man of Belial}
16:28
A froward
<08419>
man
<0376>
soweth
<07971> (8762)
strife
<04066>_:
and a whisperer
<05372>
separateth
<06504> (8688)
chief friends
<0441>_.
{soweth: Heb. sendeth forth}
16:29
A violent
<02555>
man
<0376>
enticeth
<06601> (8762)
his neighbour
<07453>_,
and leadeth
<03212> (8689)
him into the way
<01870>
[that is] not good
<02896>_.
16:30
He shutteth
<06095> (8802)
his eyes
<05869>
to devise
<02803> (8800)
froward things
<08419>_:
moving
<07169> (8802)
his lips
<08193>
he bringeth
<03615> (0)
evil
<07451>
to pass
<03615> (8765)_.
16:31
The hoary head
<07872>
[is] a crown
<05850>
of glory
<08597>_,
[if] it be found
<04672> (8735)
in the way
<01870>
of righteousness
<06666>_.
16:32
[He that is] slow
<0750>
to anger
<0639>
[is] better
<02896>
than the mighty
<01368>_;
and he that ruleth
<04910> (8802)
his spirit
<07307>
than he that taketh
<03920> (8802)
a city
<05892>_.
16:33
The lot
<01486>
is cast
<02904> (8714)
into the lap
<02436>_;
but the whole disposing
<04941>
thereof [is] of the LORD
<03068>_.
