Discovery BoxProverbs 16:1-17
The preparations
<04633>
<04633>
of the heart
<03820>
<03820>
in man
<0120>_,
<0120>_,
and the answer
<04617>
<04617>
of the tongue
<03956>_,
<03956>_,
[is] from the LORD
<03068>_.
{preparations: or, disposings}<03068>_.
All the ways
<01870>
<01870>
of a man
<0376>
<0376>
[are] clean
<02134>
<02134>
in his own eyes
<05869>_;
<05869>_;
but the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
the spirits
<07307>_.
<07307>_.
The LORD
<03068>
<03068>
all [things] for himself
<04617>_:
<04617>_:
yea, even the wicked
<07563>
<07563>
for the day
<03117>
<03117>
of evil
<07451>_.
<07451>_.
Every one [that is] proud
<01362>
<01362>
in heart
<03820>
<03820>
[is] an abomination
<08441>
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
<03068>_:
[though] hand
<03027>
<03027>
[join] in hand
<03027>_,
{unpunished: Heb. held innocent}<03027>_,
By mercy
<02617>
<02617>
and truth
<0571>
<0571>
iniquity
<05771>
<05771>
and by the fear
<03374>
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
from evil
<07451>_.
<07451>_.
Better
<02896>
<02896>
[is] a little
<04592>
<04592>
with righteousness
<06666>
<06666>
than great
<07230>
<07230>
revenues
<08393>
<08393>
without right
<04941>_.
<04941>_.
A divine sentence
<07081>
<07081>
[is] in the lips
<08193>
<08193>
of the king
<04428>_:
<04428>_:
his mouth
<06310>
<06310>
not in judgment
<04941>_.
{A divine...: Heb. Divination}<04941>_.
A just
<04941>
<04941>
weight
<06425>
<06425>
and balance
<03976>
<03976>
[are] the LORD'S
<03068>_:
<03068>_:
all the weights
<068>
<068>
of the bag
<03599>
<03599>
[are] his work
<04639>_.
{the weights: Heb. the stones}<04639>_.
[It is] an abomination
<08441>
<08441>
to kings
<04428>
<04428>
wickedness
<07562>_:
<07562>_:
for the throne
<03678>
<03678>
by righteousness
<06666>_.
<06666>_.
The wrath
<02534>
<02534>
of a king
<04428>
<04428>
[is as] messengers
<04397>
<04397>
of death
<04194>_:
<04194>_:
but a wise
<02450>
<02450>
man
<0376>
it.<0376>
In the light
<0216>
<0216>
of the king's
<04428>
<04428>
countenance
<06440>
<06440>
[is] life
<02416>_;
<02416>_;
and his favour
<07522>
<07522>
[is] as a cloud
<05645>
<05645>
of the latter rain
<04456>_.
<04456>_.
