Proverbs

²⁹The exceedingly grasping, covetous, and violent man entices his neighbor, leading him in a way that is not good. ³⁰He who shuts his eyes to devise perverse things and who compresses his lips [as if in concealment] brings evil to pass. ³¹The hoary head is a crown of beauty and glory if it is found in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation). [Prov. 20:29.] ³²He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his [own] spirit than he who takes a city. ³³The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is wholly of the Lord [even the events that seem accidental are really ordered by Him].
