Nueva Biblia Viva
16 El hombre propone y Dios dispone.
2 El hombre piensa que es justo lo que él hace, pero el Señor juzga los motivos.
3 Pon en manos del Señor todo lo que haces, y tus planes tendrán éxito.
4 Toda obra del Señor tiene un propósito; ¡hasta el malvado fue hecho para el día del desastre!
5 El Señor aborrece a los orgullosos; puedes estar seguro que recibirán su castigo.
6 Con amor y verdad se perdona el pecado, y con temor del Señor se evita el mal.
7 Cuando al Señor le agrada la conducta de un hombre, hasta con sus enemigos los reconcilia.
8 Es mejor ser pobre y justo, que rico e injusto.
9 El hombre hace planes, pero es el Señor el que dirige sus pasos.
10 La sentencia está en labios del rey, en el veredicto que emite no hay error.
11 Las pesas y las balanzas justas le pertenecen al Señor, todas las medidas han sido creadas por él.
12 El rey detesta las malas acciones, porque su trono se apoya en la justicia.
13 Al rey le agradan los labios honestos, y aprecia a quien habla con la verdad.
14 La ira del rey lleva mensaje de muerte, pero el sabio la apaciguará.
15 El rostro radiante del rey es signo de vida; su favor es como lluvia en primavera.
16 Es mejor obtener sabiduría que oro; es mejor adquirir inteligencia que plata.
17 El camino del justo se aparta del mal; el que quiere salvar su vida, se fija por dónde va.
18 Al orgullo le sigue la destrucción; a la altanería, el fracaso.
19 Es mejor humillarse con los pobres que repartirse el botín con los ricos.
20 El que hace caso a la palabra, prospera. ¡Dichoso el que confía en el Señor!
21 Al sabio de corazón, se le llama inteligente; los labios convincentes promueven el saber.
22 La prudencia es fuente de vida para quien la posee; pero instruir al necio es una locura.
23 De la mente del sabio provienen palabras sabias; sus palabras promueven la enseñanza.
24 Las palabras amables son como la miel, endulzan el alma y dan salud al cuerpo.
25 Hay delante del hombre un camino que parece recto, pero termina en muerte.
26 Al que trabaja, el hambre lo obliga a trabajar, pues su propio apetito lo estimula.
27 El perverso anda en busca de la maldad; sus palabras son como fuego devorador.
28 El hombre perverso provoca peleas, el chismoso aleja a los mejores amigos.
29 El violento engaña a sus amigos y los conduce por el mal camino.
30 El que guiña el ojo planea hacer lo malo; el que se muerde los labios ya lo llevó a cabo.
31 Las canas son corona de gloria y se obtienen viviendo una vida justa.
32 Es mejor ser paciente que poderoso; mejor es dominarse a sí mismo que conquistar una ciudad.
33 Se puede echar suertes, pero el Señor es quien decide el resultado.

Proverbs 16
Jubilee Bible 2000
16 ¶ Of man are the preparations of the heart, but 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 weighs the spirits.
3 ¶ Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 ¶ The LORD has made all things by himself, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 ¶ Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; the covenant that he makes, shall not be without chastening.
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 makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 ¶ Better is a little with righteousness than a great number of fruits with injustice.
9 ¶ The heart of man devises his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
10 ¶ A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; his mouth does not transgress 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 to be established with righteousness.
13 ¶ Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love him that speaks that which is right.
14 ¶ The wrath of the king is as a messenger of death, but the wise man will avoid 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 acquire wisdom than gold! and to acquire understanding is worth more than silver!
17 ¶ The highway of the upright is to separate himself from evil; he that keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 ¶ Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 ¶ It is better to humble your spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 ¶ He who has understanding in the word shall find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.
21 ¶ The wise in heart is called a man of understanding; and the sweetness of the lips shall increase doctrine.
22 ¶ Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 ¶ The heart of the wise causes his mouth to be prudent, and with his lips he shall increase doctrine.
24 ¶ Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and medicine to the bones.
25 ¶ There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 ¶ The soul of him that labours, labours for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.
27 ¶ The man of Belial digs in search of evil, and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 The perverse man sows strife, and the tale bearer separates princes.
29 ¶ The evil man flatters his neighbour and leads him into the way that is not good.
30 He shuts his eyes to devise perverse things; moving his lips he brings evil to pass.
31 ¶ Old age is a crown of glory if it is found in the way of righteousness.
32 ¶ He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.
33 ¶ The lot is cast into the lap, but the judgment thereof is of the LORD.
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.
