Verse
Proverbs - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- It is the part of man to prepare the soul: and of the Lord to govern the tongue.
- All the ways of a man are open to his eyes: the Lord is the weigher of spirits.
- Lay open thy works to the Lord: and thy thoughts shall be directed.
- The Lord hath made all things for himself: the wicked also for the evil day.
- Every proud man is an abomination to the Lord: though hand should be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice; and this is more acceptable with God, than to offer sacrifices.
- By mercy and truth iniquity is redeemed: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
- When the ways of man shall please the Lord, he will convert even his enemies to peace.
- Better is a little with justice, than great revenues with iniquity.
- The heart of man disposeth his way: but the Lord must direct his steps.
- Divination is in the lips of the king, his mouth shall not err in judgment.
- Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.
- They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice.
- Just lips are the delight of kings: he that speaketh right things shall be loved.
- The wrath of a king is as messengers of death : and the wise man will pacify it.
- In the cheerfulness of the king's countenance is life: and his clemency is like the latter rain.
- Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver.
- The path of the just departeth from evils: he that keepeth his soul keepeth his way.
- Pride goeth before destruction: and the spirit is lifted up before a fall.
- It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the proud.
- The learned in word shall find good things: and he that trusteth in the Lord is blessed.
