Proverbs 16:1, 3, 6, 9, 16, 18-19, 24-25, 29, 32

To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the proper answer of the tongue.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD evil is avoided.

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

A violent person entices their neighbor and leads them down a path that is not good.

Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.
