Proverbs 16:31

WisdomJustice

29 A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good.

30 He who winks his eye devises perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil.

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is attained along the path of righteousness.

32 He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
