Proverbs 16:25-33

Proverbs 16:25-33 CSB

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.
