1 The preparations 4633 of the heart 3820 in man 120, and the answer 4617 of the tongue 3956, is from the LORD 3068.
2 All the ways 1870 of a man 376 are clean 2134 in his own eyes 5869; but the LORD 3068 weigheth 8505 the spirits 7307.
3 Commit 1556 thy works 4639 unto the LORD 3068, and thy thoughts 4284 shall be established 3559.
4 The LORD 3068 hath made 6466 all things for himself 4617: yea, even the wicked 7563 for the day 3117 of evil 7451.
5 Every one that is proud 1362 in heart 3820 is an abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068: though hand 3027 join in hand 3027, he shall not be unpunished 5352.
6 By mercy 2617 and truth 571 iniquity 5771 is purged 3722: and by the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 men depart 5493 from evil 7451.
7 When a man's 376 ways 1870 please 7521 the LORD 3068, he maketh even his enemies 341 to be at peace 7999 with him.
8 Better 2896 is a little 4592 with righteousness 6666 than great 7230 revenues 8393 without right 4941.
9 A man's 120 heart 3820 deviseth 2803 his way 1870: but the LORD 3068 directeth 3559 his steps 6806.
10 A divine sentence 7081 is in the lips 8193 of the king 4428: his mouth 6310 transgresseth 4603 not in judgment 4941.
11 A just 4941 weight 6425 and balance 3976 are the LORD'S 3068: all the weights 68 of the bag 3599 are his work 4639.
12 It is an abomination 8441 to kings 4428 to commit 6213 wickedness 7562: for the throne 3678 is established 3559 by righteousness 6666.
13 Righteous 6664 lips 8193 are the delight 7522 of kings 4428; and they love 157 him that speaketh 1696 right 3477.
14 The wrath 2534 of a king 4428 is as messengers 4397 of death 4194: but a wise 2450 man 376 will pacify 3722 it.
15 In the light 216 of the king's 4428 countenance 6440 is life 2416; and his favour 7522 is as a cloud 5645 of the latter rain 4456.
16 How much better 2896 is it to get 7069 wisdom 2451 than gold 2742! and to get 7069 understanding 998 rather to be chosen 977 than silver 3701!
17 The highway 4546 of the upright 3477 is to depart 5493 from evil 7451: he that keepeth 5341 his way 1870 preserveth 8104 his soul 5315.
18 Pride 1347 goeth before 6440 destruction 7667, and an haughty 1363 spirit 7307 before 6440 a fall 3783.
19 Better 2896 it is to be of an humble 8217 spirit 7307 with the lowly 6035 6041, than to divide 2505 the spoil 7998 with the proud 1343.
20 He that handleth a matter 1697 wisely 7919 shall find 4672 good 2896: and whoso trusteth 982 in the LORD 3068, happy 835 is he.
21 The wise 2450 in heart 3820 shall be called 7121 prudent 995: and the sweetness 4986 of the lips 8193 increaseth 3254 learning 3948.
22 Understanding 7922 is a wellspring 4726 of life 2416 unto him that hath 1167 it: but the instruction 4148 of fools 191 is folly 200.
23 The heart 3820 of the wise 2450 teacheth 7919 his mouth 6310, and addeth 3254 learning 3948 to his lips 8193.
24 Pleasant 5278 words 561 are as an honeycomb 6688 1706, sweet 4966 to the soul 5315, and health 4832 to the bones 6106.
25 There is 3426 a way 1870 that seemeth right 3477 unto 6440 a man 376, but the end 319 thereof are the ways 1870 of death 4194.
26 He 5315 that laboureth 6001 laboureth 5998 for himself; for his mouth 6310 craveth 404 it of him.
27 An ungodly 1100 man 376 diggeth up 3738 evil 7451: and in his lips 8193 there is as a burning 6867 fire 784.
28 A froward 8419 man 376 soweth 7971 strife 4066: and a whisperer 5372 separateth 6504 chief friends 441.
29 A violent 2555 man 376 enticeth 6601 his neighbour 7453, and leadeth 3212 him into the way 1870 that is not good 2896.
30 He shutteth 6095 his eyes 5869 to devise 2803 froward things 8419: moving 7169 his lips 8193 he bringeth 3615 0 evil 7451 to pass 3615.
31 The hoary head 7872 is a crown 5850 of glory 8597, if it be found 4672 in the way 1870 of righteousness 6666.
32 He that is slow 750 to anger 639 is better 2896 than the mighty 1368; and he that ruleth 4910 his spirit 7307 than he that taketh 3920 a city 5892.
33 The lot 1486 is cast 2904 into the lap 2436; but the whole disposing 4941 thereof is of the LORD 3068.
