25
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
26
A worker's appetite works for him; his 1mouth urges him on.
27
2A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like 3a scorching fire.
28
4A dishonest man spreads strife, and 5a whisperer 6separates close friends.
29
A man of violence 7entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.
30
Whoever winks his eyes plans8dishonest things; he who 9purses his lips brings evil to pass.
31
10Gray hair is 11a crown of glory; it 12is gained in a righteous life.
32
13Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
33
14The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is 15from the LORD.
