잠언 16장 NASB
- 1 The plans of the heart belong to man But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
- 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight But the LORD weighs the motives.
- 3 Commit your works to the LORD And your plans will be established.
- 4 The LORD has made everything for its own purpose Even the wicked for the day of evil.
- 5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Assuredly he will not be unpunished.
- 6 By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for And by the fear of the LORD one keeps away from evil.
- 7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
- 8 Better is a little with righteousness Than great income with injustice.
- 9 The mind of man plans his way But the LORD directs his steps.
- 10 A divine decision is in the lips of the king; His mouth should not err in judgment.
- 11 A just balance and scales belong to the LORD; All the weights of the bag are His concern.
- 12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts For a throne is established on righteousness.
- 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings And he who speaks right is loved.
- 14 The fury of a king is like messengers of death But a wise man will appease it.
- 15 In the light of a king's face is life And his favor is like a cloud with the spring rain.
- 16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
- 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who watches his way preserves his life.
- 18 Pride goes before destruction And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
- 19 It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
- 20 He who gives attention to the word will find good And blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.
- 21 The wise in heart will be called understanding And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.
- 22 Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it But the discipline of fools is folly.
- 23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth And adds persuasiveness to his lips.
- 24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
- 25 There is a way which seems right to a man But its end is the way of death.
- 26 A worker's appetite works for him For his hunger urges him on.
- 27 A worthless man digs up evil While his words are like scorching fire.
- 28 A perverse man spreads strife And a slanderer separates intimate friends.
- 29 A man of violence entices his neighbor And leads him in a way that is not good.
- 30 He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things; He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.
- 31 A gray head is a crown of glory; It is found in the way of righteousness.
- 32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty And he who rules his spirit than he who captures a city.
- 33 The lot is cast into the lap But its every decision is from the LORD.
