Proverbs 16:28–32 · Berean Standard Bible

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

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.

31 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.
