Verse
Proverbs - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- Of man `are' arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.
- All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering the spirits.
- Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,
- All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked `worketh' for a day of evil.
- An abomination to Jehovah `is' every proud one of heart, Hand to hand he is not acquitted.
- In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.
- When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.
- Better `is' a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.
- The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.
- An oath `is' on the lips of a king, In judgment his mouth trespasseth not.
- A just beam and balances `are' Jehovah's, His work `are' all the stones of the bag.
- An abomination to kings `is' doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.
- The delight of kings `are' righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,
- The fury of a king `is' messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.
- In the light of a king's face `is' life, And his good-will `is' as a cloud of the latter rain.
- To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
- A highway of the upright `is', `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
- Before destruction `is' pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'
- Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
- The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.
