Bible. Proverbs
20:015:030 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report
maketh the bones fat.
20:015:031 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the
wise.
20:015:032 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he
that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
20:015:033 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before
honour is humility.
20:016:001 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the
tongue, is from the LORD.
20:016:002 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD
weigheth the spirits.
20:016:003 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be
established.
20:016:004 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the
wicked for the day of evil.
20:016:005 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the
LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
20:016:006 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the
LORD men depart from evil.
20:016:007 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies
to be at peace with him.
20:016:008 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues
without right.
20:016:009 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his
steps.
20:016:010 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth
transgresseth not in judgment.
20:016:011 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of
the bag are his work.
20:016:012 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the
throne is established by righteousness.
20:016:013 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him
that speaketh right.
20:016:014 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man
will pacify it.
20:016:015 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour
is as a cloud of the latter rain.
20:016:016 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get
understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
20:016:017 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that
keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
20:016:018 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a
fall.
20:016:019 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to
divide the spoil with the proud.
20:016:020 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso
trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
20:016:021 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness
of the lips increaseth learning.
20:016:022 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:
but the instruction of fools is folly.
20:016:023 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning
to his lips.
