Context of Proverbs 16:29
27A man of Belial diggeth up evil, and on his lips there is as a scorching fire. 28A false man soweth contention; and a talebearer separateth very friends. A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into a way that is not good. 30He that shutteth his eyes, [it is] to devise froward things; biting his lips, he bringeth evil to pass. 31The hoary head is a crown of glory, [if] it is found in the way of righteousness.
