Amsal 16:8-33

16:8 Better to have a little with righteousness

than to have abundant income without justice.

16:9 A person plans his course,

but the Lord directs his steps.

16:10 The divine verdict is in the words of the king,

his pronouncements must not act treacherously 10  against justice.

16:11 Honest scales and balances 11  are from the Lord;

all the weights 12  in the bag are his handiwork.

16:12 Doing wickedness 13  is an abomination to kings,

because a throne 14  is established in righteousness.

16:13 The delight of kings 15  is righteous counsel, 16 

and they love the one who speaks 17  uprightly. 18 

16:14 A king’s wrath 19  is like 20  a messenger of death, 21 

but a wise person appeases it. 22 

16:15 In the light of the king’s face 23  there is life,

and his favor is like the clouds 24  of the spring rain. 25 

16:16 How much better it is to acquire 26  wisdom than gold;

to acquire understanding is more desirable 27  than silver.

16:17 The highway 28  of the upright is to turn 29  away from evil;

the one who guards 30  his way safeguards his life. 31 

16:18 Pride 32  goes 33  before destruction,

and a haughty spirit before a fall. 34 

16:19 It is better to be lowly in spirit 35  with the afflicted

than to share the spoils 36  with the proud.

16:20 The one who deals wisely 37  in a matter 38  will find success, 39 

and blessed 40  is the one who trusts in the Lord. 41 

16:21 The one who is wise in heart 42  is called 43  discerning,

and kind speech 44  increases persuasiveness. 45 

16:22 Insight 46  is like 47  a life-giving fountain 48  to the one who possesses it,

but folly leads to the discipline of fools. 49 

16:23 A wise person’s heart 50  makes his speech wise 51 

and it adds persuasiveness 52  to his words. 53 

16:24 Pleasant words are like 54  a honeycomb, 55 

sweet to the soul and healing 56  to the bones.

16:25 There is a way that seems right to a person, 57 

but its end is the way that leads to death. 58 

16:26 A laborer’s 59  appetite 60  works on his behalf, 61 

for his hunger 62  urges him to work. 63 

16:27 A wicked scoundrel 64  digs up 65  evil,

and his slander 66  is like a scorching fire. 67 

16:28 A perverse person 68  spreads dissension,

and a gossip separates the closest friends. 69 

16:29 A violent person 70  entices 71  his neighbor,

and leads him down a path that is terrible. 72 

16:30 The one who winks his eyes 73  devises perverse things,

and 74  one who compresses his lips 75  brings about 76  evil.

16:31 Gray hair is like 77  a crown of glory; 78 

it is attained 79  in the path of righteousness. 80 

16:32 Better to be slow to anger 81  than to be a mighty warrior,

and one who controls his temper 82  is better than 83  one who captures a city. 84 

16:33 The dice are thrown into the lap, 85 

but their every decision 86  is from the Lord. 87
