Chapter 16.

Di plans wey dey person heart na for man, but na our Papa dey give di answer wey di tongue go talk. All di ways wey man dey waka clean for im own eyes, but na our Papa dey weigh wetin dey im mind. Put all di work wey you dey do for our Papa hand, and your plans go stand strong. Our Papa don make everytin for im own purpose, even di wicked person for di day of trouble. Everybody wey get proud heart na abomination for our Papa front; make you sabi say, e no go escape punishment. Love wey no dey change and faithfulness dey clean sin comot, and to fear our Papa dey turn person away from evil. When di ways wey man dey waka dey sweet our Papa, our Papa dey make even di man enemies dey live for peace with am. Small tin with correct-and-holy way better pass plenty money with wayo. Man heart dey plan im way, but na our Papa dey set im steps steady. Judgement wey come from up dey for king lips; im mouth no dey betray justice. Correct scale and balance na our Papa own; every weight and measure na im work. E be abomination for kings to do wickedness, because na through correct-and-holy way throne dey stand strong. Lips wey dey talk correct tin na wetin dey sweet kings, and dem dey love person wey dey talk wetin dey right. King vex na messenger of death, but wise man go cool am down. For di light of king face na life dey, and im favour be like cloud wey dey bring di rain of harvest time. Wisdom better pass gold well well to get! To get understanding worth pass silver. Di big road of di people wey dey waka straight dey turn away from evil; anybody wey dey guard im way dey protect im life. Pride dey go before destruction, and proud spirit dey go before fall. E better make you dey humble for spirit among poor people, pass to share di loot with proud people. Anybody wey dey obey di word go find better tin, and blessing dey for person wey dey trust our Papa. Dem dey call person wey get wise heart person wey sabi understand tin, and sweet talk dey make word enter person ear well. Understanding na fountain of life to di person wey get am, but foolishness na wetin dey correct fools. Di heart of wise person dey make im talk wise, and e dey make im word enter person ear well. Sweet words be like honeycomb, e dey sweet di soul and e dey heal di bones. Dey get one way wey dey look correct for man eye, but di end of am na di way of death. Di hunger wey worker get dey work for am; im belle wey dey hungry dey push am go. Person wey no get value dey dig up evil, and for im lips fire wey dey burn dey. Person wey get crooked heart dey scatter peace, and person wey dey gossip dey separate close friends. Person wey dey do violence dey sweet-talk im neighbour and dey carry am go bad way. Anybody wey dey blink im eyes dey plan bad tin; anybody wey dey squeeze im lips don set im mind for evil. Grey hair na crown of glory; person dey get am for di way of correct-and-holy living. Person wey get patience better pass strong person, and person wey dey rule im spirit better pass person wey dey capture city. Dem dey throw lot for lap, but every decision wey e give na from our Papa.
