Proverbs 16:9-24

Proverbs 16:9-24 CSB

NIVKJVESVNLTNKJV

A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.  God’s verdict is on the lips of a king;  , his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.  Honest balances and scales are the  Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his concern.  Wicked behavior is detestable to kings,  since a throne is established through righteousness.  Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he loves one who speaks honestly. A king’s fury is a messenger of death, but a wise person appeases it.  When a king’s face lights up, there is life; his favor is like a cloud with spring rain. Get wisdom — how much better it is than gold! And get understanding — it is preferable to silver.  The highway of the upright  avoids evil; the one who guards his way protects his life.  Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.  Better to be lowly of spirit with the humble  , than to divide plunder with the proud.  The one who understands a matter finds success,  and the one who trusts in the  Lord will be happy.  Anyone with a wise heart is called discerning, and pleasant speech  increases learning.  Insight is a fountain of life  for its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly. The heart of a wise person instructs his mouth; it adds learning to his speech.  , Pleasant words are a honeycomb:  sweet to the taste  and health to the body.  ,
