Proverbs 16:20-33 - ESV - Whoever gives thought to the wordwill discover ...

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹will discover good, and blessed is he ²who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ³increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ⁴a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ⁵The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ⁶Gracious words are like ⁷a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ⁸health to the body.

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

26 A worker's appetite works for him; his ⁹mouth urges him on.

27 ¹⁰A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ¹¹a scorching fire.

28 ¹²A dishonest man spreads strife, and ¹³a whisperer ¹⁴separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ¹⁵entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d¹⁶dishonest things; he who ¹⁷purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 ¹⁸Gray hair is ¹⁹a crown of glory; it ²⁰is gained in a righteous life.

32 ²¹Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ²²The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ²³from the LORD.
