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

The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.

In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil.

A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.

How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

A violent man entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
