Proverbs 16:25-33 English Revised Version (ERV)

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 labouring man laboureth for him; for his mouth craveth it of him.

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

28. A froward man scattereth abroad strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

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

30. He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise froward 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 the LORD.
