Proverbs
Chapters 16:27-33
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
27Troublemakers create disasters. Their advice destroys like a wildfire.
28Troublemakers are always causing problems. Their gossip breaks up the closest of friends.
29Cruel people trick their neighbors and make them do wrong.
30With a wink of the eye, they plan to trick someone. With a grin, they make plans to hurt their friends.
31Gray hair is a crown of glory on people who have lived good lives. It is earned by living right.
32It is better to be patient than to be a strong soldier. It is better to control your anger than to capture a city.
33People might throw lots to make a decision, but the answer always comes from the Lord.
