Proverbs 16:31

Compare all

29 A violent man entices his neighbor,
And leads him in a way that is not good.

30 He¹ winks his eye to devise perverse things;
He purses his lips and brings about evil.

31 ^aThe silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.

32 ^aHe who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord.
