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.
20:017:002 A wise servant shall have rule over a son
that causeth shame,
and
shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
20:017:003 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace
for gold: but
the
lord trieth the hearts.
20:017:004 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;
and a liar giveth ear
to
a naughty tongue.
