Proverbs 16:20-32

²⁰He that is wise in his busines, shall finde good: and he that trusteth in the Lord, he is blessed.

²¹The wise in heart shall bee called prudent: and the sweetenesse of the lippes shall increase doctrine.

²²Vnderstading is welspring of life vnto them that haue it: and the instruction of fooles is folly.

²³The heart of the wise guideth his mouth wisely, and addeth doctrine to his lippes.

²⁴Faire wordes are as an hony combe, sweetenesse to the soule, and health to the bones.

²⁵There is a way that seemeth right vnto man: but the issue thereof are the wayes of death.

²⁶The person that traueileth, traueileth for himselfe: for his mouth craueth it of him.

²⁷A wicked man diggeth vp euill, and in his lippes is like burning fire.

²⁸A frowarde person soweth strife: and a tale teller maketh diuision among princes.

²⁹A wicked man deceiueth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

³⁰He shutteth his eyes to deuise wickednes: he moueth his lippes, and bringeth euil to passe.

³¹Age is a crowne of glory, when it is founde in the way of righteousnes.

³²He that is slowe vnto anger, is better then the mightie man: and hee that ruleth his owne minde, is better then he that winneth a citie.
