27
A good-for-nothing man is a designer of evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire.
28
A man of twisted purposes is a cause of fighting everywhere: and he who says evil secretly makes trouble between friends.
29
A violent man puts desire of evil into his neighbour's mind, and makes him go in a way which is not good.
30
He whose eyes are shut is a man of twisted purposes, and he who keeps his lips shut tight makes evil come about.
31
The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.
32
He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.
33
A thing may be put to the decision of chance, but it comes about through the Lord.
Proverbs 16:27-33 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO FIRST KINGS 6
This chapter gives an account of the building of the temple, for which preparations were before made and begins with the time of its building, 1Ki 6:1; gives the dimensions of it and the porch before it, 1Ki 6:2,3; observes the windows in it and chambers about it, 1Ki 6:4-10; and while it was building, Solomon had a word from the Lord relative to it, 1Ki 6:11-14; and then the account goes on concerning the walls of the house, and the flooring of it, 1Ki 6:15-18; and the oracle in it, and the cherubim in that, 1Ki 6:19-30; and the doors into it, and the carved work of them, 1Ki 6:31-36; and the chapter is concluded with observing the time when it was begun and finished 1Ki 6:37,38.
