Young's Literal Translation 1862
| 16:1 | Of man `are' arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue. |

| 16:16 | To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver! |

| 16:23 | The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning, |
| 16:24 | Sayings of pleasantness `are' a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone. |
| 16:25 | There is a way right before a man, And its latter end -- ways of death. |
| 16:26 | A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused `him' to bend over it. |
| 16:27 | A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips -- as a burning fire. |
| 16:28 | A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend. |
| 16:29 | A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good. |
| 16:30 | Consulting his eyes to devise froward things, Moving his lips he hath accomplished evil. |

| 16:32 | Better `is' the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city. |
| 16:33 | Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah `is' all its judgment! |
Young's Literal Translation 1862
Young's Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young used the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text as the basis for his translation. He wrote in the preface to the first edition, "It has been no part of the Translator's plan to attempt to form a New Hebrew or Greek Text--he has therefore somewhat rigidly adhered to the received ones."
