New International Reader's Version

Proverbs 16:28-32 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

28. A twisted person stirs up fights. Anyone who talks about others comes between close friends.

29. A man who wants to hurt others tries to get them to sin. He leads them down a path that isn't good.

30. When he winks with his eyes, he is planning to do wrong. When his lips are tightly closed, he is up to no good.

31. Gray hair is a glorious crown. You get it by living the right way.

32. It is better to be patient than to fight. It is better to control your temper than to take a city.
