Proverbs 16 — YLT

16Verse 1Of man [are] arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.^{Verse 2}All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering the spirits.^{Verse 3}Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,^{Verse 4}All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked [worketh] for a day of evil.^{Verse 5}An abomination to Jehovah [is] every proud one of heart, Hand to hand he is not acquitted.^{Verse 6}In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.^{Verse 7}When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.^{Verse 8}Better [is] a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.^{Verse 9}The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.^{Verse 10}An oath [is] on the lips of a king, In judgment his mouth trespasseth not.^{Verse 11}A just beam and balances [are] Jehovah's, His work [are] all the stones of the bag.^{Verse 12}An abomination to kings [is] doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.^{Verse 13}The delight of kings [are] righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,^{Verse 14}The fury of a king [is] messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.^{Verse 15}In the light of a king's face [is] life, And his good-will [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.^{Verse 16}To get wisdom — how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!^{Verse 17}A highway of the upright [is], 'Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.^{Verse 18}Before destruction [is] pride, And before stumbling — a haughty spirit.'^{Verse 19}Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.^{Verse 20}The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.^{Verse 21}To the wise in heart is called, 'Intelligent,' And sweetness of lips increaseth learning.^{Verse 22}A fountain of life [is] understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.^{Verse 23}The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,^{Verse 24}Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.^{Verse 25}There is a way right before a man, And its latter end — ways of death.^{Verse 26}A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused [him] to bend over it.^{Verse 27}A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips — as a burning fire.^{Verse 28}A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.^{Verse 29}A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good.^{Verse 30}Consulting his eyes to devise froward things, Moving his lips he hath accomplished evil.^{Verse 31}A crown of beauty [are] grey hairs, In the way of righteousness it is found.^{Verse 32}Better [is] the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.^{Verse 33}Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah [is] all its judgment!
