Proverbs 16:27-33 Common English Bible (CEB)

27. Worthless people dig up trouble;their lips are like a scorching fire.

28. Destructive people produce conflict;gossips alienate close friends.

29. Violent people entice their neighborsand walk them down a path that isn’t good.

30. Those who wink their eye plot destruction;those who purse their lips plan evil.

31. Gray hair is a crown of glory;it is found on the path of righteousness.

32. Better to be patient than a warrior,and better to have self-control than to capture a city.

33. The dice are cast into the lap;all decisions are from the Lord.
