Proverbs 16

English Standard Version ESV

1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit.

3 Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.

5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.

6 By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.

7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.

9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

10 An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.

11 A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.

12 It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness.

13 Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 A king’s wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will appease it.

15 In the light of a king’s face there is life, and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

17 The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

26 A worker’s appetite works for him; his mouth urges him on.

27 A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.

28 A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.

29 A man of violence entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans dishonest things; he who purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.

32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 hominis est animum praeparare et Dei gubernare linguam

2 omnes viae hominum patent oculis eius spirituum ponderator est Dominus

3 revela Domino opera tua et dirigentur cogitationes tuae

4 universa propter semet ipsum operatus est Dominus impium quoque ad diem malum

5 abominatio Domini omnis arrogans etiam si manus ad manum fuerit non erit innocens

6 misericordia et veritate redimitur iniquitas et in timore Domini declinatur a malo

7 cum placuerint Domino viae hominis inimicos quoque eius convertet ad pacem

8 melius est parum cum iustitia quam multi fructus cum iniquitate

9 cor hominis disponet viam suam sed Domini est dirigere gressus eius

10 divinatio in labiis regis in iudicio non errabit os eius

11 pondus et statera iudicia Domini sunt et opera eius omnes lapides sacculi

12 abominabiles regi qui agunt impie quoniam iustitia firmatur solium

13 voluntas regum labia iusta qui recta loquitur diligetur

14 indignatio regis nuntii mortis et vir sapiens placabit eam

15 in hilaritate vultus regis vita et clementia eius quasi imber serotinus

16 posside sapientiam quia auro melior est et adquire prudentiam quia pretiosior est argento

17 semita iustorum declinat mala custos animae suae servat viam suam

18 contritionem praecedit superbia et ante ruinam exaltatur spiritus

19 melius est humiliari cum mitibus quam dividere spolia cum superbis

20 eruditus in verbo repperiet bona et qui in Domino sperat beatus est

21 qui sapiens corde est appellabitur prudens et qui dulcis eloquio maiora percipiet

22 fons vitae eruditio possidentis doctrina stultorum fatuitas

23 cor sapientis erudiet os eius et labiis illius addet gratiam

24 favus mellis verba conposita dulcedo animae et sanitas ossuum

25 est via quae videtur homini recta et novissimum eius ducit ad mortem

26 anima laborantis laborat sibi quia conpulit eum os suum

27 vir impius fodit malum et in labiis eius ignis ardescit

28 homo perversus suscitat lites et verbosus separat principes

29 vir iniquus lactat amicum suum et ducit eum per viam non bonam

30 qui adtonitis oculis cogitat prava mordens labia sua perficit malum

31 corona dignitatis senectus in viis iustitiae repperietur

32 melior est patiens viro forte et qui dominatur animo suo expugnatore urbium

33 sortes mittuntur in sinu sed a Domino temperantur
