Proverbs 16:13: The delight of kings are righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth, Proverbs 16:14: The fury of a king is messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it. Proverbs 16:15: In the light of a king's face is life, And his good-will is as a cloud of the latter rain. Proverbs 16:16: To get wisdom &#8212; how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

Proverbs 16:23: The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning, Proverbs 16:24: Sayings of pleasantness are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone. Proverbs 16:25: There is a way right before a man, And its latter end &#8212; ways of death. Proverbs 16:26: A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused him to bend over it. Proverbs 16:27: A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips &#8212; as a burning fire. Proverbs 16:28: A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend. Proverbs 16:29: A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good.

Proverbs 16:32: Better is the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city. Proverbs 16:33: Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah is all its judgment!
