Proverbs 16:28 Context

◄ Proverbs 16:28 ►

A perverse man spreads dissension, and a gossip divides close friends.

Context

28A perverse man spreads strife,
And a slanderer separates intimate friends.

29A man of violence entices his neighbor
And leads him in a way that is not good.

30He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things;
He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.

31A gray head is a crown of glory;
It is found in the way of righteousness.

32He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.

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