Proverbs 16

The Message Bible MSG

1 Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.

2 Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good; God probes for what is good.

3 Put God in charge of your work, then what you've planned will take place.

4 God made everything with a place and purpose; even the wicked are included - but for judgment.

5 God can't stomach arrogance or pretense; believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place.

6 Guilt is banished through love and truth; Fear-of-God deflects evil.

7 When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.

8 Far better to be right and poor than to be wrong and rich.

9 We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it. It Pays to Take Life Seriously

10 A good leader motivates, doesn't mislead, doesn't exploit.

11 God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business.

12 Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds; sound leadership has a moral foundation.

13 Good leaders cultivate honest speech; they love advisors who tell them the truth.

14 An intemperate leader wreaks havoc in lives; you're smart to stay clear of someone like that.

15 Good-tempered leaders invigorate lives; they're like spring rain and sunshine.

16 Get wisdom - it's worth more than money; choose insight over income every time.

17 The road of right living bypasses evil; watch your step and save your life.

18 First pride, then the crash - the bigger the ego, the harder the fall.

19 It's better to live humbly among the poor than to live it up among the rich and famous.

20 It pays to take life seriously; things work out when you trust in God.

21 A wise person gets known for insight; gracious words add to one's reputation.

22 True intelligence is a spring of fresh water, while fools sweat it out the hard way.

23 They make a lot of sense, these wise folks; whenever they speak, their reputation increases.

24 Gracious speech is like clover honey - good taste to the soul, quick energy for the body.

25 There's a way that looks harmless enough; look again - it leads straight to hell.

26 Appetite is an incentive to work; hunger makes you work all the harder.

27 Mean people spread mean gossip; their words smart and burn.

28 Troublemakers start fights; gossips break up friendships.

29 Calloused climbers betray their very own friends; they'd stab their own grandmothers in the back.

30 A shifty eye betrays an evil intention; a clenched jaw signals trouble ahead.

31 Gray hair is a mark of distinction, the award for a God-loyal life.

32 Moderation is better than muscle, self-control better than political power.

33 Make your motions and cast your votes, but God has the final say.

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
