Proverbs 16:29
Compare all
27 1An ungodly man digs up evil,
And it is on his lips like a burning afire. 
28 A perverse man sows strife,
And aa whisperer separates the best of friends. 
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.
