Proverbs
Chapters 16:26-32
New International Version Anglicized
26The appetite of labourers 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 neighbourand 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.
31Grey hair is a crown of splendour;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.
