Proverbs 16:9-29 - ESV - The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD es...

9 ¹The heart of man plans his way, but ²the LORD establishes his steps.

10 ³An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.

11 ⁴A 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 ⁵the throne is established by righteousness.

13 ⁶Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ⁷A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ⁸appease it.

15 ⁹In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ¹⁰favor is like ¹¹the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ¹²How much better to get wisdom than ¹³gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ¹⁴silver.

17 The highway of the upright ¹⁵turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ¹⁶Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ¹⁷It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ¹⁸divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹⁹will discover good, and blessed is he ²⁰who trusts in the LORD.

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

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

23 ²³The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ²⁴Gracious words are like ²⁵a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ²⁶health to the body.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.^b

26 A worker's appetite works for him; his ²⁷mouth urges him on.

27 ²⁸A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ²⁹a scorching fire.

28 ³⁰A dishonest man spreads strife, and ³¹a whisperer ³²separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ³³entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.
