Proverbs 16:25-33

25There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

26The appetite of laborers works for them; their hunger drives them on.

27A scoundrel plots evil, and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.

28A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.

29A violent person entices their neighbor and leads them down a path that is not good.

30Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity; whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

31Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness.

32Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city. 33The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD .
