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