Proverbs 16:21-33

MSTC(i) 21 Whoso hath a wise understanding is called to counsel; but he that can speak fair, getteth more riches. 22 Understanding is a well of life unto him that hath it; as for the chastening of fools, it is but foolishness. 23 A wise heart ordereth his mouth wisely; and amendeth the doctrine in his lips. 24 Fair words are a honeycomb, a refreshing of the mind, and health of the bones. 25 There is a way that men think to be right; but the end thereof leadeth unto death. 26 A troublous soul disquieteth herself; for her own mouth hath brought her thereto. 27 An ungodly person stirreth up evil; and in his lips he is as a hot burning fire. 28 A froward body causeth strife; and he that is a babble of his tongue, maketh division among princes. 29 A wicked man beguileth his neighbour; and leadeth him the way that is not good. 30 He that winketh with his eyes, imagineth mischief; and he that biteth his lips, will do some harm. 31 Age is a crown of worship, if it be found in the way of righteousness. 32 A patient man is better than one strong; and he that can rule himself, is more worth than he that winneth a city. 33 The lots are cast into the lap, but their fall standeth in the LORD.
