Proverbs 16:20-33

He that handleth a matter
<01697>
wisely
<07919> (8688)
shall find
<04672> (8799)
good
<02896>_:
and whoso trusteth
<0982> (8802)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
happy
<0835>
[is] he. {handleth...: or, understandeth a matter}
The wise
<02450>
in heart
<03820>
shall be called
<07121> (8735)
prudent
<0995> (8737)_:
and the sweetness
<04986>
of the lips
<08193>
increaseth
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>_.
Understanding
<07922>
[is] a wellspring
<04726>
of life
<02416>
unto him that hath
<01167>
it: but the instruction
<04148>
of fools
<0191>
[is] folly
<0200>_.
The heart
<03820>
of the wise
<02450>
teacheth
<07919> (8686)
his mouth
<06310>_,
and addeth
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>
to his lips
<08193>_.
{teacheth: Heb. maketh wise}
Pleasant
<05278>
words
<0561>
[are as] an honeycomb
<06688> <01706>_,
sweet
<04966>
to the soul
<05315>_,
and health
<04832>
to the bones
<06106>_.
There is
<03426>
a way
<01870>
that seemeth right
<03477>
unto
<06440>
a man
<0376>_,
but the end
<0319>
thereof [are] the ways
<01870>
of death
<04194>_.
He
<05315>
that laboureth
<06001>
laboureth
<05998> (8804)
for himself; for his mouth
<06310>
craveth
<0404> (8804)
it of him. {He...: Heb. The soul of him that} {craveth...: Heb. boweth unto him}
An ungodly
<01100>
man
<0376>
diggeth up
<03738> (8802)
evil
<07451>_:
and in his lips
<08193>
[there is] as a burning
<06867>
fire
<0784>_.
{An...: Heb. A man of Belial}
A froward
<08419>
man
<0376>
soweth
<07971> (8762)
strife
<04066>_:
and a whisperer
<05372>
separateth
<06504> (8688)
chief friends
<0441>_.
{soweth: Heb. sendeth forth}
A violent
<02555>
man
<0376>
enticeth
<06601> (8762)
his neighbour
<07453>_,
and leadeth
<03212> (8689)
him into the way
<01870>
[that is] not good
<02896>_.
He shutteth
<06095> (8802)
his eyes
<05869>
to devise
<02803> (8800)
froward things
<08419>_:
moving
<07169> (8802)
his lips
<08193>
he bringeth
<03615> (0)
evil
<07451>
to pass
<03615> (8765)_.
The hoary head
<07872>
[is] a crown
<05850>
of glory
<08597>_,
[if] it be found
<04672> (8735)
in the way
<01870>
of righteousness
<06666>_.
[He that is] slow
<0750>
to anger
<0639>
[is] better
<02896>
than the mighty
<01368>_;
and he that ruleth
<04910> (8802)
his spirit
<07307>
than he that taketh
<03920> (8802)
a city
<05892>_.
The lot
<01486>
is cast
<02904> (8714)
into the lap
<02436>_;
but the whole disposing
<04941>
thereof [is] of the LORD
<03068>_.
