New Testament

Proverbs 16:25-33 American Standard Version (ASV)

25. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

26. The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto.

27. A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.

28. A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

29. A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good.

30. He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise perverse things: He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.

31. The hoary head is a crown of glory; It shall be found in the way of righteousness.

32. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

33. The lot is cast into the lap; But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah.
