Proverbs 16:31 Context
29A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 30He shutteth his eyes to deuise froward things: moouing his lips he bringeth euill to passe. 31The hoary head is a crowne of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousnesse. 32He that is slow to anger, is better then the mighty: and he that ruleth his spirit, then he that taketh a citie. 33The lot is cast into the lap: but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.
