29 A man of violence (A)entices his neighbor
    and leads him in a way that is not good.
30 Whoever winks his eyes plans[a] (B)dishonest things;
    he who (C)purses his lips brings evil to pass.
31 (D)Gray hair is (E)a crown of glory;
    it (F)is gained in a righteous life.
32 (G)Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
    and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
33 (H)The lot is cast into the lap,
    but its every decision is (I)from the Lord.
