Proverbs 16
But the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.
But Jehovah weigheth the spirits.
And thy purposes shall be established.
Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
And by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.
He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Than great revenues with injustice.
But Jehovah directeth his steps.
His mouth shall not transgress in judgment.
All the weights of the bag are his work.
For the throne is established by righteousness.
And they love him that speaketh right.
But a wise man will pacify it.
And his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
And a haughty spirit before a fall.
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.
And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
But the correction of fools is their folly.
And addeth learning to his lips.
Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
But the end thereof are the ways of death.
For his mouth urgeth him thereto.
And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
And leadeth him in a way that is not good.
He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.
It shall be found in the way of righteousness.
And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.
But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah.
