Proverbs 16:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰Watch out for people who grin and wink at you; they have thought of something evil.

³¹Long life is the reward of the righteous; gray hair is a glorious crown.

³²It is better to be patient than powerful. It is better to win control over yourself than over whole cities.

Proverbs 16:30-32

New International Version

³⁰Whoever winks^(A) with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

³¹Gray hair is a crown of splendor;^(B)
it is attained in the way of righteousness.

³²Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
