16 (A) Människan gör planer

        i sitt hjärta,
    men från Herren kommer
        vad tungan svarar.

2 (B) En mans alla vägar
        är rena i hans egna ögon,
    men Herren är den
        som prövar andarna.

3 (C) Anförtro dina verk åt Herren,
    så har dina planer framgång.

4 (D) Herren har gjort var sak
        för sitt syfte,
    även den gudlöse för olyckans dag.

5 (E) Herren avskyr de högmodiga,
    de blir verkligen inte ostraffade.

6 (F) Genom nåd och sanning sonas skuld,
    genom vördnad för Herren
        undviks det onda.

7 När någons vägar behagar Herren
    gör han även hans fiender[a]
        till vänner.

8 (G) Bättre äga lite med rättfärdighet
    än tjäna mycket med orätt.

9 (H) Människans hjärta tänker ut sin väg,
    men Herren styr hennes steg.

10 Gudomligt beslut
        är på kungens läppar,
    hans mun tar inte miste i domen.

11 (I) Rätt våg och vikt är från Herren,
    alla vikter i pungen är hans verk.

12 (J) Kungar avskyr onda gärningar,
    för tronen befästs
        genom rättfärdighet.

13 (K) Rättfärdiga läppar behagar kungar,
    den som talar sanning blir älskad.

14 (L) Kungens vrede förebådar död,
    men en vis man kan stilla den.

15 (M) När kungens uppsyn är ljus
        betyder det liv,
    hans välvilja är
        som ett moln med vårregn.

16 (N) Att vinna vishet
        är bättre än guld,
    att vinna insikt
        är mer värt än silver.

17 De ärligas väg
        är att undvika det onda,
    den som ger akt på sin väg
        bevarar sitt liv.

18 (O) Stolthet går före undergång
    och högmod går före fall.

19 Bättre vara ödmjuk bland de ringa
    än dela byte med de stolta.

20 (P) Den som ger akt på ordet
        finner det goda,
    lycklig är den
        som litar på Herren.

21 Den som har vist hjärta
        kallas klok,
    och ljuvligt tal främjar lärdom.[b]

22 (Q) Den som äger insikt
        har en källa till liv,
    men att fostra dårar är dårskap.

23 Den vises hjärta
        gör hans mun klok
    och främjar lärdom
        på hans läppar.

24 (R) Milda ord är som rinnande honung,
    ljuva för själen
        och en läkedom för kroppen.

25 (S) En väg kan verka rätt
        för en människa,
    men till slut leda till döden.

26 Arbetarens hunger
        får honom att arbeta,
    hans egen mun driver på honom.

27 (T) En illasinnad man
        gräver upp det onda,
    brännande eld är på hans läppar.

28 (U) En falsk människa skapar gräl,
    baktalaren skiljer vänner åt.

29 (V) Den våldsamme förleder sin nästa
    och leder honom in på en väg
        som inte är god.

30 (W) Den som kniper med ögonen
        har vrånga tankar,
    sammanpressade läppar
        är redo till ont.

31 (X) Grått hår är en ärekrona,
    den vinns på rättfärdighetens väg.

32 (Y) Bättre en tålmodig man
        än en hjälte,
    bättre styra sitt sinne
        än inta en stad.

33 (Z) Lotten kastas i knät,
    men avgörandet kommer alltid
        från Herren.

Proverbs 16
New American Standard Bible

Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked

16 The (A)plans of the heart belong to a person,
But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a person are clean in his own sight,
But the (B)Lord examines the [a]motives.
3 [b](C)Commit your works to the Lord,
And your plans will be established.
4 The Lord (D)has made everything for [c]its own purpose,
Even the (E)wicked for the day of evil.
5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
[d]Be assured, he will not go unpunished.
6 By (F)mercy and truth atonement is made for wrongdoing,
And by [e]the (G)fear of the Lord one keeps away from evil.
7 When a person’s ways are pleasing to the Lord,
He (H)causes even his enemies to make peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness
Than great income with injustice.
9 The mind of a (I)person plans his way,
But (J)the Lord directs his steps.
10 A divine (K)verdict is on the lips of the king;
His mouth should not [f]err in judgment.
11 A (L)just balance and scales belong to the Lord;
All the [g]weights of the bag are His [h]concern.
12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts,
Because a (M)throne is established on righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And one who speaks right is loved.
14 The fury of a king is like messengers of death;
But a wise person will appease it.
15 In the light of a king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a cloud with the [i](N)spring rain.
16 How much (O)better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
17 The (P)highway of the upright is to turn away from evil;
One who watches his way protects his [j]life.
18 (Q)Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
19 It is better to be (R)humble in spirit with the needy
Than to (S)divide the spoils with the proud.
20 One who pays attention to the word will (T)find good,
And (U)blessed is one who trusts in the Lord.
21 The (V)wise in heart will be called understanding,
And sweetness of [k]speech (W)increases [l]persuasiveness.
22 Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it,
But the discipline of fools is foolishness.
23 The (X)heart of the wise instructs his mouth
And adds [m]persuasiveness to his lips.
24 (Y)Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul and (Z)healing to the bones.
25 (AA)There is a way which seems right to a person,
But its end is the way of death.
26 A worker’s appetite works for him,
For his [n]hunger urges him on.
27 A (AB)worthless person digs up evil,
While [o]his words are like (AC)scorching fire.
28 A perverse person spreads strife,
And a [p]slanderer separates close friends.
29 A person of violence (AD)entices his neighbor
And leads him in a way that is not good.
30 He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things;
He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.
31 A (AE)gray head is a crown of glory;
It (AF)is found in the way of righteousness.
32 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And one who rules his spirit, than one who captures a city.
33 The (AG)lot is cast into the lap,
But its every (AH)decision is from the Lord.

Proverbs 16
New International Version

16 To humans belong the plans of the heart,
    but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.(A)

    but motives are weighed(C) by the Lord.(D)

3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
    and he will establish your plans.(E)

4 The Lord works out everything to its proper end(F)—
    even the wicked for a day of disaster.(G)

5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart.(H)
    Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.(I)

6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
    through the fear of the Lord(J) evil is avoided.(K)

7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
    he causes their enemies to make peace(L) with them.(M)

8 Better a little with righteousness
    than much gain(N) with injustice.(O)

9 In their hearts humans plan their course,
    but the Lord establishes their steps.(P)

10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
    and his mouth does not betray justice.(Q)

11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
    all the weights in the bag are of his making.(R)

12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
    for a throne is established through righteousness.(S)

13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
    they value the one who speaks what is right.(T)

14 A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,(U)
    but the wise will appease it.(V)

15 When a king’s face brightens, it means life;(W)
    his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.(X)

16 How much better to get wisdom than gold,
    to get insight(Y) rather than silver!(Z)

17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
    those who guard their ways preserve their lives.(AA)

18 Pride(AB) goes before destruction,
    a haughty spirit(AC) before a fall.(AD)

19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
    than to share plunder with the proud.

    and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.(AF)

    and gracious words promote instruction.[b](AG)

    and their lips promote instruction.[c](AJ)

24 Gracious words are a honeycomb,(AK)
    sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.(AL)

25 There is a way that appears to be right,(AM)
    but in the end it leads to death.(AN)

26 The appetite of laborers works for them;
    their hunger drives them on.

27 A scoundrel(AO) plots evil,
    and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.(AP)

28 A perverse person stirs up conflict,(AQ)
    and a gossip separates close friends.(AR)

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

30 Whoever winks(AT) with their eye is plotting perversity;
    whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;(AU)
    it is attained in the way of righteousness.

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

33 The lot is cast(AV) into the lap,
    but its every decision(AW) is from the Lord.(AX)
