New Testament

Proverbs 16:25-33 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

25. There is a way that appears to be right,but in the end it leads to death.

26. The appetite of labourers works for them;their hunger drives them on.

27. A scoundrel plots evil,and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.

28. A perverse person stirs up conflict,and a gossip separates close friends.

29. A violent person entices their neighbourand leads them down a path that is not good.

30. Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

31. Grey hair is a crown of splendour;it is attained in the way of righteousness.

32. Better a patient person than a warrior,one with self-control than one who takes a city.

33. The lot is cast into the lap,but its every decision is from the Lord.
