Dios Habla Hoy
16 Los planes son del hombre;
la palabra final la tiene el Señor.
2 Al hombre le parece bueno todo lo que hace,
pero el Señor es quien juzga las intenciones.
3 Pon tus actos en las manos del Señor
y tus planes se realizarán.
4 El Señor lo ha creado todo con un propósito:
aun al hombre malvado para el día del castigo.
5 El Señor no soporta a los orgullosos;
tarde o temprano tendrán su castigo.
6 Con amor y verdad se perdona el pecado;
honrando al Señor se aleja uno del mal.
7 Cuando al Señor le agrada la conducta de un hombre,
hasta a sus enemigos los pone en paz con él.
8 Vale más lo poco ganado honradamente,
que lo mucho ganado en forma injusta.
9 Al hombre le toca hacer planes,
y al Señor dirigir sus pasos.
10 El rey habla de parte de Dios
y no dicta sentencias injustas.
11 Pesas y medidas caen bajo el juicio del Señor;
todas las pesas han sido creadas por él.
12 Los reyes reprueban las malas acciones,
porque el trono se basa en la justicia.
13 Los reyes aman y ven con agrado
a quien habla con honradez y sinceridad.
14 La ira del rey es mensajera de muerte,
y es de sabios procurar calmarla.
15 La alegría del rey es promesa de vida,
y su buena voluntad es como nube de lluvia.
16 Más vale adquirir sabiduría que oro;
más vale entendimiento que plata.
17 La norma de los justos es apartarse del mal;
cuidar la propia conducta es cuidarse uno mismo.
18 Tras el orgullo viene el fracaso;
tras la altanería, la caída.
19 Más vale humillarse con los pobres
que hacerse rico con los orgullosos.
20 Al que bien administra, bien le va;
¡feliz aquel que confía en el Señor!
21 Al que piensa sabiamente, se le llama inteligente;
las palabras amables convencen mejor.
22 Tener buen juicio es tener una fuente de vida;
instruir a los necios es también necedad.
23 El que piensa sabiamente, se sabe expresar,
y sus palabras convencen mejor.
24 Las palabras dulces son un panal de miel:
endulzan el ánimo y dan nuevas fuerzas.
25 Hay caminos que parecen derechos,
pero al final de ellos está la muerte.
26 El apetito del que trabaja lo impulsa a trabajar;
el hambre que siente lo empuja a ello.
27 El malvado es un horno de maldad;
¡aun sus palabras parecen llamas de fuego!
28 El perverso provoca peleas;
el chismoso es causa de enemistades.
29 El violento engaña a su amigo
y lo desvía por el mal camino.
30 Guiña los ojos quien piensa hacer lo malo;
se muerde los labios quien ya lo ha cometido.
31 Las canas son una digna corona,
ganada por una conducta honrada.
32 Más vale ser paciente que valiente;
más vale vencerse uno mismo que conquistar ciudades.
33 El hombre echa las suertes,
pero el Señor es quien lo decide todo.

Wisdom Is Better Than Gold
16 The (A)preparations[a] of the heart belong to man,
(B)But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own (C)eyes,
But the Lord weighs the spirits.
5 (G)Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join [d]forces, none will go unpunished.
6 (H)In mercy and truth
Atonement is provided for iniquity;
And (I)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.
8 (J)Better is a little with righteousness,
Than vast revenues without justice.
10 Divination is on the lips of the king;
His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
11 (M)Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s;
All the weights in the bag are His [e]work.
12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For (N)a throne is established by righteousness.
13 (O)Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And they love him who speaks what is right.
14 As messengers of death is the king’s wrath,
But a wise man will (P)appease it.
15 In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a (Q)cloud of the latter rain.
16 (R)How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before [f]a fall.
19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly,
Than to divide the [g]spoil with the proud.
20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever (S)trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart will be called prudent,
And sweetness of the lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it.
But the correction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
And adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of (T)death.
26 The person who labors, labors for himself,
For his hungry mouth drives (U)him on.
27 [h]An ungodly man digs up evil,
And it is on his lips like a burning (V)fire.
28 A perverse man sows strife,
And (W)a whisperer separates the best of friends.
29 A violent man entices his neighbor,
And leads him in a way that is not good.
30 He winks his eye to devise perverse things;
He [i]purses his lips and brings about evil.
31 (X)The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
32 (Y)He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord.

King James Version
16 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

16 Vi kan alltid göra upp våra planer, men det är ändå Herren som har sista ordet.
2 Vi kan alltid visa att vi har rätt, men Herren prövar våra motiv.
3 Överlåt ditt arbete åt Herren, så kommer det att lyckas.
4 Herren har skapat allt för sina egna syften, till och med de ogudaktiga, som kommer att få sina straff.
5 Herren avskyr de högfärdiga. Du kan vara säker på att han aldrig ska låta dem komma undan sitt straff.
6 Visa trofasthet och kärlek så ska Gud förlåta dig din synd. Lyd honom, så ska inget ont hända dig.
7 När en människa behagar Herren, påverkar han till och med hennes värsta fiender att sluta fred med henne.
8 Det är bättre att ha lite, som man förtjänat på ett hederligt sätt, än att ohederligt skaffa sig stora rikedomar.
9 Vi bör planera men samtidigt räkna med att Herren leder oss.
10 Gud hjälper kungen att döma folket rättvist. Därför behöver han inte begå några misstag.
11 Herren kräver ärlighet i affärer. Han har själv fastslagit denna princip.
12 En kung kan aldrig tolerera det som är orätt, för det är rättvisan som ger honom makt att regera.
13 Kungen är glad när folket lever i sanning och rättfärdighet.
14 Kungens vrede är en dödens bud bärare, men en vis man kan mildra den.
15 Det går väl för den som kungen gillar. Hans välvilja är som ett livgivande vårregn.
16 Vishet är mycket bättre än guld, och gott omdöme mycket bättre än silver!
17 De gudfruktigas väg leder bort från det onda. Den som följer den vägen kan vara trygg.
18 Stolthet slutar i fördärv och högfärd leder till fall.
19 Det är bättre att vara ödmjuk bland de fattiga än att dela de ogudaktigas rikedomar.
20 Gud välsignar dem som lyssnar till hans ord. Lycklig är den människa som litar på Herren.
21 Den vise är välkänd för sin kunskap, och han delar med sig av den till andra.
22 Visheten är livets källa för de kloka, men att försöka undervisa en dåre är bortkastad tid.
23 Från en vis man kommer väl valda och övertygande ord som folk lätt kan förstå.
24 Vänliga ord är som honung, njut bara och hälsosamma.
25 Fler än en tror sig ha funnit den rätta vägen, men är ändå på väg mot döden.
26 Det är bra med hunger, om den tvingar dig att arbeta för att tillfredsställa den.
27 Sysslolösa händer är djävulens verktyg. Allt löst prat kommer från honom.
28 En ogudaktig människa sår splittring. Skvaller skiljer de bästa vänner åt.
29 Den ogudaktige försöker att övertala sina vänner för att få dem in på onda vägar.
30 Den som tittar under lugg och biter ihop tänderna har något ont i kikaren.
31 Grått hår är en ärekrona, och man finner den mest bland de gudfruktiga.
32 Det är bättre att ha tålamod än att vara stark. Det är bättre att behärska sig själv än att härska över en hel stad.
33 Vi singlar ofta slant, men det är Herren som avgör om det blir krona eller klave.
Proverbs 16
New International Version
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)
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.(E)
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)
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)
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.(AA)
19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,[a](AE)
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.(AF)
22 Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent,(AH)
but folly brings punishment to fools.
26 The appetite of laborers works for them;
their hunger drives them on.
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.
