| Proverbs 16 Text (WEB)
|
- The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.
- All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.
- Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.
- Yahweh has made everything for its own end-- yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
- Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh: they shall certainly not be unpunished.
- By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
- When a man's ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
- Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.
- A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.
- Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth.
- Honest balances and scales are Yahweh's; all the weights in the bag are his work.
- It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
- Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
- The king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
- In the light of the king's face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
- How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
- The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
- Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
- It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud.
- He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed.
- The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.
- Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.
- The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
- Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
- There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
- The appetite of the laboring man labors for him; for his mouth urges him on.
- A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.
- A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.
- A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.
- One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.
- Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.
- One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
- The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh.

| Proverbs 16 Text (Latin)
|
- Hominis est animam præparare, et Domini gubernare linguam.
- Omnes viæ hominis patent oculis ejus ; spirituum ponderator est Dominus.
- Revela Domino opera tua, et dirigentur cogitationes tuæ.
- Universa propter semetipsum operatus est Dominus ; impium quoque ad diem malum.
- Abominatio Domini est omnis arrogans ; etiamsi manus ad manum fuerit, non est innocens. Initium viæ bonæ facere justitiam ; accepta est autem apud Deum magis quam immolare hostias.
- Misericordia et veritate redimitur iniquitas, et in timore Domini declinatur a malo.
- Cum placuerint Domino viæ hominis, inimicos quoque ejus convertet ad pacem.
- Melius est parum cum justitia, quam multi fructus cum iniquitate.
- Cor hominis disponit viam suam, sed Domini est dirigere gressus ejus.
- Divinatio in labiis regis ; in judicio non errabit os ejus.
- Pondus et statera judicia Domini sunt, et opera ejus omnes lapides sacculi.
- Abominabiles regi qui agunt impie, quoniam justitia firmatur solium.
- Voluntas regum labia justa ; qui recta loquitur diligetur.
- Indignatio regis nuntii mortis, et vir sapiens placabit eam.
- In hilaritate vultus regis vita, et clementia ejus quasi imber serotinus.
- Posside sapientiam, quia auro melior est, et acquire prudentiam, quia pretiosior est argento.
- Semita justorum declinat mala ; custos animæ suæ servat viam suam.
- Contritionem præcedit superbia, et ante ruinam exaltatur spiritus.
- Melius est humiliari cum mitibus, quam dividere spolia cum superbis.
- Eruditus in verbo reperiet bona, et qui sperat in Domino beatus est.
- Qui sapiens est corde appellabitur prudens, et qui dulcis eloquio majora percipiet.
- Fons vitæ eruditio possidentis ; doctrina stultorum fatuitas.
- Cor sapientis erudiet os ejus, et labiis ejus addet gratiam.
- Favus mellis composita verba ; dulcedo animæ sanitas ossium.
- Est via quæ videtur homini recta, et novissima ejus ducunt ad mortem.
- Anima laborantis laborat sibi, quia compulit eum os suum.
- Vir impius fodit malum, et in labiis ejus ignis ardescit.
- Homo perversus suscitat lites, et verbosus separat principes.
- Vir iniquus lactat amicum suum, et ducit eum per viam non bonam.
- Qui attonitis oculis cogitat prava, mordens labia sua perficit malum.
- Corona dignitatis senectus, quæ in viis justitiæ reperietur.
- Melior est patiens viro forti ; et qui dominatur animo suo, expugnatore urbium.
- Sortes mittuntur in sinum, sed a Domino temperantur.

| Proverbs 16 Text (KJV)
|
- The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
- All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
- Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
- The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
- Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
- By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
- When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
- Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
- A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
- A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
- A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
- It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
- Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
- The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
- In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
- How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
- The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
- Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
- Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
- He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
- The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
- Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
- The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
- Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
- There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
- He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
- An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
- A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
- A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
- He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
- The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
- He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
- The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
