20:015:023 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:
and a word spoken
in
due season, how good is it!
20:015:024 The way of life is above to the wise, that
he may depart from
hell
beneath.
20:015:025 The lord will destroy the house of
the proud: but he will
establish
the border of the widow.
20:015:026 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination
to the lord: but
the
words of the pure are pleasant words.
20:015:027 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his
own house; but he that
hateth
gifts shall live.
20:015:028 The heart of the righteous studieth to
answer: but the mouth
of
the wicked poureth out evil things.
20:015:029 The lord is far from the wicked:
but he heareth the prayer of
the
righteous.
20:015:030 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:
and a good report
maketh
the bones fat.
20:015:031 The ear that heareth the reproof of life
abideth among the
wise.
20:015:032 He that refuseth instruction despiseth
his own soul: but he
that
heareth reproof getteth understanding.
20:015:033 The fear of the lord is the instruction
of wisdom; and before
honour
is humility.
20:016:001 The preparations of the heart in man, and
the answer of the
tongue,
is from the lord.
20:016:002 All the ways of a man are clean in his
own eyes; but the lord
weigheth
the spirits.
20:016:003 Commit thy works unto the lord, and
thy thoughts shall be
established.
20:016:004 The lord hath made all things for
himself: yea, even the
wicked
for the day of evil.
20:016:005 Every one that is proud in heart is an
abomination to the
lord:
though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
20:016:006 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged:
and by the fear of the
lord
men depart from evil.
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.
