PROVERBS—NOTE ON Proverbs 16:25 a way that seems right... but. People often have the wrong idea about what is good and what is bad. Hunger seems a bad thing, but it forces people to work and keeps them from idleness (v. Proverbs 16:26). Gray hair seems to be a mark of decline but actually is a crown of glory (v. Proverbs 16:31; compare Proverbs 20:29). Finally, a mighty warrior seems to be the strongest man of all, but in reality a man who can control himself is stronger than a conqueror (Proverbs 16:32).
