Proverbs 16:21-33
Proverbs 16:21-33 CSB
Anyone with a wise heart is called discerning, and pleasant speech increases learning. Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly. The heart of a wise person instructs his mouth; it adds learning to his speech. , Pleasant words are a honeycomb: sweet to the taste and health to the body. , There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way to death. A worker’s appetite works for him because his hunger urges him on. A worthless person digs up evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire. A contrary person spreads conflict, and a gossip separates close friends. A violent person lures his neighbor, leading him on a path that is not good. The one who narrows his eyes is planning deceptions; the one who compresses his lips brings about evil. Gray hair is a glorious crown; it is found in the ways of righteousness. Patience is better than power, and controlling one’s emotions, than capturing a city. The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
