Proverbs 15:31-16:7
New International Version
31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction
will be at home among the wise.(A)
32 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves,(B)
but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.(C)
16 To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.(F)
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.(J)
Proverbs 15:31-16:7
New King James Version
31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life
Will abide among the wise.
32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,
But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
33 (A)The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And (B)before honor is humility.
Wisdom Is Better Than Gold
16 The (C)preparations[a] of the heart belong to man,
(D)But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own (E)eyes,
But the Lord weighs the spirits.
5 (I)Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join [d]forces, none will go unpunished.
6 (J)In mercy and truth
Atonement is provided for iniquity;
And (K)by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
