Proverbs 16



<< Proverbs 16 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation
 

27A worthless person plots trouble, and his speech is like a burning fire.

28A devious person spreads quarrels. A gossip separates the closest of friends.

29A violent person misleads his neighbor and leads him on a path that is not good.

30Whoever winks his eye is plotting something devious. Whoever bites his lips has finished his evil work.

31Silver hair is a beautiful crown found in a righteous life.

32Better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. Better to be even-tempered than to capture a city.

33The dice are thrown, but the LORD determines every outcome.
