016:001
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

016:002
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

016:003
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

016:004
The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

016:005
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

016:006
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

016:007
When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

016:008
Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

016:009
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

016:010
A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

016:011
A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

016:012
It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

016:013
Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

016:014
The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

016:015
In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

016:016
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

016:017
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

016:018
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

016:019
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

016:020
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

016:021
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

016:022
Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

016:023
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

016:024
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

016:025
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

016:026
He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.

016:027
An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

016:028
A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

016:029
A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

016:030
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

016:031
The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

016:032
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

016:033
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
