Proverbs 16:2-22 - ESV - All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,...

2 ¹All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD ² weighs the spirit.

3 ³Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.

4 ⁴The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even ⁵the wicked for the day of trouble.

5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is ⁶an abomination to the LORD; ⁷be assured, he will not go unpunished.

6 By ⁸steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by ⁹the fear of the LORD one ¹⁰turns away from evil.

7 When a man's ways please the LORD, ¹¹he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 ¹²Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.

9 ¹³The heart of man plans his way, but ¹⁴the LORD establishes his steps.

10 ¹⁵An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.

11 ¹⁶A just balance and scales are the LORD's; all the weights in the bag are his work.

12 It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for ¹⁷the throne is established by righteousness.

13 ¹⁸Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ¹⁹A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ²⁰appease it.

15 ²¹In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ²²favor is like ²³the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ²⁴How much better to get wisdom than ²⁵gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ²⁶silver.

17 The highway of the upright ²⁷turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ²⁸Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ²⁹It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ³⁰divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a³¹will discover good, and blessed is he ³²who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ³³increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ³⁴a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
