Proverbs 16
[1] To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue. [2] All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord. [3] Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. [4] The Lord works out everything for his own ends-- even the wicked for a day of disaster. [5] The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. [6] Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil. [7] When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him. [8] Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice. [9] In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. [10] The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth should not betray justice. [11] Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of his making. [12] Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness. [13] Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth. [14] A king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it. [15] When a king's face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring. [16] How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver! [17] The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life. [18] Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. [19] Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud. [20] Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. [21] The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant words promote instruction.* [22] Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools. [23] A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.* [24] Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. [25] There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. [26] The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on. [27] A scoundrel plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire. [28] A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends. [29] A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good. [30] He who winks with his eye is plotting perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil. [31] Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life. [32] Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. [33] The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

1 心中的谋算在乎人。舌头的应对，由于耶和华。2 人一切所行的，在自己眼中看为清洁。惟有耶和华衡量人心。3 你所作的，要交托耶和华，你所谋的，就必成立。4 耶和华所造的，各适其用。就是恶人，也为祸患的日子所造。5 凡心里骄傲的，为耶和华所憎恶。虽然连手，他必不免受罚。6 因怜悯诚实，罪孽得赎。敬畏耶和华的，远离恶事。7 人所行的若蒙耶和华喜悦，耶和华也使他的仇敌与他和好。8 多有财利，行事不义，不如少有财利，行事公义。9 人心筹算自己的道路。惟耶和华指引他的脚步。10 王的嘴中有神语。审判之时，他的口，必不差错。11 公道的天平和秤，都属耶和华。囊中一切法码，都为他所定。12 作恶为王所憎恶。因国位是靠公义坚立。13 公义的嘴，为王所喜悦。说正直话的，为王所喜爱。14 王的震怒，如杀人的使者。但智慧人能止息王怒。15 王的脸光，使人有生命。王的恩典，好像春云时雨。16 得智慧胜似得金子。选聪明强如选银子。17 正直人的道，是远离恶事。谨守己路的，是保全性命。18 骄傲在败坏以先，狂心在跌倒之前。19 心里谦卑与穷乏人来往，强如将掳物与骄傲人同分。20 谨守训言的，必得好处。倚靠耶和华的，便为有福。21 心中有智慧，必称为通达人。嘴中的甜言，加增人的学问。22 人有智慧就有生命的泉源。愚昧人必被愚昧惩治。23 智慧人的心，教训他的口，又使他的嘴，增长学问。24 良言如同蜂房，使心觉甘甜，使骨得医治。25 有一条路，人以为正，至终成为死亡之路。26 劳力人的胃口，使他劳力，因为他的口腹催逼他。27 匪徒图谋奸恶，嘴上仿佛有烧焦的火。28 乖僻人播散分争。传舌的离间密友。29 强暴人诱惑邻舍，领他走不善之道。30 眼目紧合的，图谋乖僻，嘴唇紧闭的，成就邪恶。31 白发是荣耀的冠冕。在公义的道上，必能得着。32 不轻易发怒的，胜过勇士。治服己心的，强如取城。33 签放在怀里。定事由耶和华。
