Proverbs 16:30-32
GOD’S WORD Translation
30 Whoever winks his eye is plotting something devious.
Whoever bites his lips has finished his evil work.
31 Silver hair is a beautiful crown found in a righteous life.
32 Better to get angry slowly than to be a hero.
Better to be even-tempered than to capture a city.
Proverbs 16:30-32
New International Version
30 Whoever winks(A) with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

it is attained in the way of righteousness.
32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
Proverbs 16:30-32
