Proverbs 16:28-33
28
A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.
29
A violent person entices their neighbor and leads them down a path that is not good.
30
Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity; whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
31
Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness.
32
Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.
33
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
