Proverbs 16 (kjv)

The preparations^H4633 of the heart^H3820 in man^H120, and the answer^H4617 of the tongue^H3956, is from the LORD^H3068.²All the ways^H1870 of a man^H376 are clean^H2134 in his own eyes^H5869; but the LORD^H3068 weigheth^H8505 the spirits^H7307.³Commit^H1556 thy works^H4639 unto the LORD^H3068, and thy thoughts^H4284 shall be established^H3559.⁴The LORD^H3068 hath made^H6466 all things for himself^H4617: yea, even the wicked^H7563 for the day^H3117 of evil^H7451.⁵Every one that is proud^H1362 in heart^H3820 is an abomination^H8441 to the LORD^H3068: though hand^H3027 join in hand^H3027, he shall not be unpunished^H5352.⁶By mercy^H2617 and truth^H571 iniquity^H5771 is purged^H3722: and by the fear^H3374 of the LORD^H3068 men depart^H5493 from evil^H7451.⁷When a man's^H376 ways^H1870 please^H7521 the LORD^H3068, he maketh even his enemies^H341 to be at peace^H7999 with him.⁸Better^H2896 is a little^H4592 with righteousness^H6666 than great^H7230 revenues^H8393 without right^H4941.⁹A man's^H120 heart^H3820 deviseth^H2803 his way^H1870: but the LORD^H3068 directeth^H3559 his steps^H6806.¹⁰A divine sentence^H7081 is in the lips^H8193 of the king^H4428: his mouth^H6310 transgresseth^H4603 not in judgment^H4941.¹¹A just^H4941 weight^H6425 and balance^H3976 are the LORD'S^H3068: all the weights^H68 of the bag^H3599 are his work^H4639.¹²It is an abomination^H8441 to kings^H4428 to commit^H6213 wickedness^H7562: for the throne^H3678 is established^H3559 by righteousness^H6666.¹³Righteous^H6664 lips^H8193 are the delight^H7522 of kings^H4428; and they love^H157 him that speaketh^H1696 right^H3477.¹⁴The wrath^H2534 of a king^H4428 is as messengers^H4397 of death^H4194: but a wise^H2450 man^H376 will pacify^H3722 it.¹⁵In the light^H216 of the king's^H4428 countenance^H6440 is life^H2416; and his favour^H7522 is as a cloud^H5645 of the latter rain^H4456.¹⁶How much better^H2896 is it to get^H7069 wisdom^H2451 than gold^H2742! and to get^H7069 understanding^H998 rather to be chosen^H977 than silver^H3701!¹⁷The highway^H4546 of the upright^H3477 is to depart^H5493 from evil^H7451: he that keepeth^H5341 his way^H1870 preserveth^H8104 his soul^H5315.¹⁸Pride^H1347 goeth before^H6440 destruction^H7667, and an haughty^H1363 spirit^H7307 before^H6440 a fall^H3783.¹⁹Better^H2896 it is to be of an humble^H8217 spirit^H7307 with the lowly^{H6035 H6041}, than to divide^H2505 the spoil^H7998 with the proud^H1343.²⁰He that handleth a matter^H1697 wisely^H7919 shall find^H4672 good^H2896: and whoso trusteth^H982 in the LORD^H3068, happy^H835 is he.²¹The wise^H2450 in heart^H3820 shall be called^H7121 prudent^H995: and the sweetness^H4986 of the lips^H8193 increaseth^H3254 learning^H3948.²²Understanding^H7922 is a wellspring^H4726 of life^H2416 unto him that hath^H1167 it: but the instruction^H4148 of fools^H191 is folly^H200.²³The heart^H3820 of the wise^H2450 teacheth^H7919 his mouth^H6310, and addeth^H3254 learning^H3948 to his lips^H8193.²⁴Pleasant^H5278 words^H561 are as an honeycomb^{H6688 H1706}, sweet^H4966 to the soul^H5315, and health^H4832 to the bones^H6106.²⁵There is^H3426 a way^H1870 that seemeth right^H3477 unto^H6440 a man^H376, but the end^H319 thereof are the ways^H1870 of death^H4194.²⁶He^H5315 that laboureth^H6001 laboureth^H5998 for himself; for his mouth^H6310 craveth^H404 it of him.²⁷An ungodly^H1100 man^H376 diggeth up^H3738 evil^H7451: and in his lips^H8193 there is as a burning^H6867 fire^H784.²⁸A froward^H8419 man^H376 soweth^H7971 strife^H4066: and a whisperer^H5372 separateth^H6504 chief friends^H441.²⁹A violent^H2555 man^H376 enticeth^H6601 his neighbour^H7453, and leadeth^H3212 him into the way^H1870 that is not good^H2896.³⁰He shutteth^H6095 his eyes^H5869 to devise^H2803 froward things^H8419: moving^H7169 his lips^H8193 he bringeth^H3615 evil^H7451 to pass^H3615.³¹The hoary head^H7872 is a crown^H5850 of glory^H8597, if it be found^H4672 in the way^H1870 of righteousness^H6666.³²He that is slow^H750 to anger^H639 is better^H2896 than the mighty^H1368; and he that ruleth^H4910 his spirit^H7307 than he that taketh^H3920 a city^H5892.³³The lot^H1486 is cast^H2904 into the lap^H2436; but the whole disposing^H4941 thereof is of the LORD^H3068.
