15:31 He who listens to a life-giving rebuke will be at home among the wise.
15:32 He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
15:33 The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
16:1 To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue.
16:2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord .
16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
16:4 The Lord works out everything for his own ends- even the wicked for a day of disaster.
16:5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
16:6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil.
16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord , he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.
16:8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.
16:10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth should not betray justice.
16:11 Honest scales and balances are from the Lord ; all the weights in the bag are of his making.
16:12 Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.
16:13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth.
16:14 A king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it.
16:15 When a king's face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
