Proverbs 16:29-31
The Message
Proverbs 16:29-31
The Message
29 Calloused climbers betray their very own friends;
they’d stab their own grandmothers in the back.
30 A shifty eye betrays an evil intention;
a clenched jaw signals trouble ahead.
31 Gray hair is a mark of distinction,
the award for a God-loyal life.
Proverbs 16:29-31
New International Version
Proverbs 16:29-31
New International Version
29 A violent person entices their neighbor
and leads them down a path that is not good.(A)
30 Whoever winks(B) with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;(C)
it is attained in the way of righteousness.
