Proverbs 16:32


Proverbs 16:31 Proverbs 16:32 (KJV) Proverbs 16:33
The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.
[He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
