Proverbs 16

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1

2 All the works of the humble are manifest with God; but the ungodly shall perish in an evil day.

3

4

5 Every one that is proud in heart is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless. The beginning of a good way is to do justly; and it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices. He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: and they that rightly seek him shall find peace. All of the works of the Lord with righteousness; and the ungodly is kept for the evil day.

10 an oracle upon the lips of a king; and his mouth shall not err in judgment.

18 Pride goes before destruction, and folly before a fall.

19 Better is a meek-spirited with lowliness, than one who divides spoils with the proud.

21 call the wise and understanding evil: but they that are pleasing in speech shall hear more.

22 Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessors; but the instruction of fools is evil.

23 The heart of the wise will discern the from his own mouth; and on his lips he will wear knowledge.

24 Good words are honeycombs, and the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.

25 There are ways that seem to be right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell.

26 A man who labours, labours for himself, and drives from his own ruin.

27 But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.

28 A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates friends.

29 A transgressor tries friends, and leads them in ways not good.

30 And the man that fixes his eyes devises perverse things, and marks out with his lips all evil: he is a furnace of wickedness.

31 Old age is a crown of honour, but it is found in the ways of righteousness.

32 A man slow to anger is better than a strong ; and he that governs temper better than he that takes a city.

33 All come upon the ungodly into bosoms; but all righteous things of the Lord.
