The Book of Proverbs 16

16 The arrangements of the heart are a man’s,

but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his eyes,

but Yahweh examines spirits.

3 Roll to Yahweh your works,

and your plans will be established.

4 Yahweh has made all for its purpose

and even a wicked one for the day of evil.

5 An abomination to Yahweh is each one high of heart,

hand to hand he will not remain blameless.

6 By covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness iniquity is atoned for,

and by the fear of Yahweh one turns away from evil.

7 When Yahweh is pleased with the ways of a man,

he causes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better is a little with righteousness

than an abundance of produce with no justice.

9 The heart of a man plans his way,

but Yahweh establishes his step.

10 Divination is on the lips of a king,

in judgment his mouth will not act unfaithfully.

11 A balance and scales of justice are for Yahweh;

all the stones of the bag are his work.

12 An abomination of kings is doing wickedness,

for by righteousness is a throne established.

13 The delight of kings are lips of righteousness,

and he loves one who speaks upright things.

14 The heat of a king is messengers of death,

but a wise man will atone for it.

15 In the light of the face of the king is life,

and his favor is like a cloud of spring rain.

16 How better it is to acquire wisdom than gold,

and to acquire understanding is to be chosen more than silver.

17 The highway of the upright ones turns away from evil;

one who protects his life guards his way.

18 Before the face of breaking is pride,

and before the face of a stumbling is a height of spirit.

19 Better to be lowly of spirit with afflicted ones

than to share a portion of spoil with proud ones.

20 One who comprehends concerning a matter will find good,

and one who trusts in Yahweh, he is happy.

21 The wise of heart will be called understanding one,

and the sweetness of lips increases learning.

22 A fountain of life is the insight of its owner,

but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 The heart of the wise makes his mouth insightful,

and on his lips it increases learning.

24 A dripping of honey are words of pleasantness,

sweet to the soul and healing to the bone.

25 There is a right way before the face of a man

and its end is the ways of death.

26 The appetite of the laborer labors for him,

for his mouth presses on him.

27 A man of worthlessness digs up evil

and on his lips it is like a scorching fire.

28 A man of perverse things lets loose strife,

and a murmurer is one who separates a close friend.

29 A man of violence entices his neighbor,

and he leads him in a way that is not good.

30 One who shuts his eyes plans perverse things;

one who compresses his lips brings evil to completion.

31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;

in the way of righteousness it is found.

32 Better is one long of nostrils than a mighty one,

and one who rules his spirit than one who captures a city.

33 Into the lap a lot is cast,

but its every judgment is from Yahweh.
