Part 17

20:016:007 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

20:016:008 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

20:016:009 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

20:016:010 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

20:016:011 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

20:016:012 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

20:016:013 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

20:016:014 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

20:016:015 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

20:016:016 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

20:016:017 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

20:016:018 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

20:016:019 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20:016:020 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

20:016:021 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

20:016:022 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

20:016:023 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

20:016:024 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

20:016:025 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

20:016:026 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.

20:016:027 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

20:016:028 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

20:016:029 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

20:016:030 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

20:016:031 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

20:016:032 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

20:016:033 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

20:017:001 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
