16:1 The
preparations
of
the
heart
in
man,
and
the
answere
of
the
tongue,
is
from
the
Lord.
16:2 All
the
wayes
of
a
man
are
cleane
in
his
owne
eyes:
but
the
Lord
weigheth
the
spirits.
16:3 Commit
thy
workes
vnto
the
Lord,
and
thy
thoughts
shalbe
established.
16:4 The
Lord
hath
made
all
things
for
himselfe:
yea,
euen
the
wicked
for
the
day
of
euill.
16:5 Euery
one
that
is
proud
in
heart,
is
an
abomination
to
the
Lord:
though
hand
ioyne
in
hand,
he
shall
not
be
vnpunished.
16:6 By
mercy
and
trueth
iniquitie
is
purged:
and
by
the
feare
of
the
Lord,
men
depart
from
euill.
16:7 When
a
mans
wayes
please
the
Lord,
he
maketh
euen
his
enemies
to
be
at
peace
with
him.
16:8 Better
is
a
little
with
righteousnesse,
then
great
reuenewes
without
right.
16:9 A
mans
heart
deuiseth
his
way:
but
the
Lord
directeth
his
steps.
16:10 A
diuine
sentence
is
in
the
lips
of
the
king:
his
mouth
transgresseth
not
in
iudgement.
16:11 A
iust
weight
and
ballance
are
the
Lords:
all
the
weights
of
the
bagge
are
his
worke.
16:12 It
is
an
abomination
to
kings
to
commit
wickednesse:
for
the
throne
is
established
by
righteousnesse.
16:13 Righteous
lips
are
the
delight
of
kings:
and
they
loue
him
that
speaketh
right.
16:14 The
wrath
of
a
king
is
as
messengers
of
death:
but
a
wise
man
will
pacifie
it.
16:15 In
the
light
of
the
kings
countenance
is
life,
and
his
fauour
is
as
a
cloude
of
the
latter
raine.
16:16 How
much
better
is
it
to
get
wisedome,
then
gold
and
to
get
vnderstanding,
rather
to
be
chosen
then
siluer
16:17 The
high
way
of
the
vpright
is
to
depart
from
euill:
hee
that
keepeth
his
way,
preserueth
his
soule.
16:18 Pride
goeth
before
destruction:
and
an
hautie
spirit
before
a
fall.
16:19 Better
it
is
to
be
of
an
humble
spirit
with
the
lowly,
then
to
diuide
the
spoile
with
the
proud.
16:20 He
that
handleth
a
matter
wisely,
shall
finde
good:
and
who
so
trusteth
in
the
Lord,
happy
is
hee.
16:21 The
wise
in
heart
shall
be
called
prudent;
and
the
sweetnesse
of
the
lips
increaseth
learning.
16:22 Understanding
is
a
well-spring
of
life
vnto
him
that
hath
it:
but
the
instruction
of
fooles
is
folly.
16:23 The
heart
of
the
wise
teacheth
his
mouth,
and
addeth
learning
to
his
lippes.
16:24 Pleasant
words
are
as
an
honycombe,
sweete
to
the
soule,
and
health
to
the
bones.
16:25 There
is
a
way
that
seemeth
right
vnto
a
man;
but
the
end
thereof
are
the
wayes
of
death.
16:26 Hee
that
laboureth,
laboureth
for
himselfe;
for
his
mouth
craueth
it
of
him.
16:27 An
vngodly
man
diggeth
vp
euill:
and
in
his
lips
there
is
as
a
burning
fire.
16:28 A
froward
man
soweth
strife;
&
a
whisperer
separateth
chiefe
friends.
16:29 A
violent
man
enticeth
his
neighbour,
and
leadeth
him
into
the
way
that
is
not
good.
16:30 He
shutteth
his
eyes
to
deuise
froward
things:
moouing
his
lips
he
bringeth
euill
to
passe.
16:31 The
hoary
head
is
a
crowne
of
glory,
if
it
be
found
in
the
way
of
righteousnesse.
16:32 He
that
is
slow
to
anger,
is
better
then
the
mighty:
and
he
that
ruleth
his
spirit,
then
he
that
taketh
a
citie.
16:33 The
lot
is
cast
into
the
lap:
but
the
whole
disposing
thereof
is
of
the
Lord.
