20:016:024 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. 20:016:025 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 20:016:026 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. 20:016:027 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. 20:016:028 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. 20:016:029 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 20:016:030 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass. 20:016:031 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. 20:016:032 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. 20:016:033 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD. 20:017:001 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. 20:017:002 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. 20:017:003 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. 20:017:004 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. 20:017:005 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. 20:017:006 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. 20:017:007 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. 20:017:008 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. 20:017:009 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 20:017:010 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. 20:017:011 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 20:017:012 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 20:017:013 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 20:017:014 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. 20:017:015 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. 20:017:016 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
