1 The king's 4428 heart 3820 is in the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068, as the rivers 6388 of water 4325: he turneth 5186 it whithersoever he will 2654.
2 Every way 1870 of a man 376 is right 3477 in his own eyes 5869: but the LORD 3068 pondereth 8505 the hearts 3826.
3 To do 6213 justice 6666 and judgment 4941 is more acceptable 977 to the LORD 3068 than sacrifice 2077.
4 An high 7312 look 5869, and a proud 7342 heart 3820, and the plowing 5215 of the wicked 7563, is sin 2403.
5 The thoughts 4284 of the diligent 2742 tend only to plenteousness 4195; but of every one that is hasty 213 only to want 4270.
6 The getting 6467 of treasures 214 by a lying 8267 tongue 3956 is a vanity 1892 tossed to and fro of 5086 them that seek 1245 death 4194.
7 The robbery 7701 of the wicked 7563 shall destroy 1641 them; because they refuse 3985 to do 6213 judgment 4941.
8 The way 1870 of man 376 is froward 2019 and strange 2054: but as for the pure 2134, his work 6467 is right 3477.
9 It is better 2896 to dwell 3427 in a corner 6438 of the housetop 1406, than with a brawling 4079 4066 woman 802 in a wide 2267 house 1004.
10 The soul 5315 of the wicked 7563 desireth 183 evil 7451: his neighbour 7453 findeth no favour 2603 in his eyes 5869.
11 When the scorner 3887 is punished 6064, the simple 6612 is made wise 2449: and when the wise 2450 is instructed 7919, he receiveth 3947 knowledge 1847.
12 The righteous 6662 man wisely considereth 7919 the house 1004 of the wicked 7563: but God overthroweth 5557 the wicked 7563 for their wickedness 7451.
13 Whoso stoppeth 331 his ears 241 at the cry 2201 of the poor 1800, he also shall cry 7121 himself, but shall not be heard 6030.
14 A gift 4976 in secret 5643 pacifieth 3711 anger 639: and a reward 7810 in the bosom 2436 strong 5794 wrath 2534.
15 It is joy 8057 to the just 6662 to do 6213 judgment 4941: but destruction 4288 shall be to the workers 6466 of iniquity 205.
16 The man 120 that wandereth 8582 out of the way 1870 of understanding 7919 shall remain 5117 in the congregation 6951 of the dead 7496.
17 He that loveth 157 pleasure 8057 shall be a poor 4270 man 376: he that loveth 157 wine 3196 and oil 8081 shall not be rich 6238.
18 The wicked 7563 shall be a ransom 3724 for the righteous 6662, and the transgressor 898 for the upright 3477.
19 It is better 2896 to dwell 3427 in the wilderness 776 4057, than with a contentious 4079 4066 and an angry 3708 woman 802.
20 There is treasure 214 to be desired 2530 and oil 8081 in the dwelling 5116 of the wise 2450; but a foolish 3684 man 120 spendeth it up 1104.
21 He that followeth 7291 after righteousness 6666 and mercy 2617 findeth 4672 life 2416, righteousness 6666, and honour 3519.
22 A wise 2450 man scaleth 5927 the city 5892 of the mighty 1368, and casteth down 3381 the strength 5797 of the confidence 4009 thereof.
23 Whoso keepeth 8104 his mouth 6310 and his tongue 3956 keepeth 8104 his soul 5315 from troubles 6869.
24 Proud 2086 and haughty 3093 scorner 3887 is his name 8034, who dealeth 6213 in proud 2087 wrath 5678.
25 The desire 8378 of the slothful 6102 killeth 4191 him; for his hands 3027 refuse 3985 to labour 6213.
26 He coveteth 183 greedily 8378 all the day 3117 long: but the righteous 6662 giveth 5414 and spareth 2820 not.
27 The sacrifice 2077 of the wicked 7563 is abomination 8441: how much more, when he bringeth 935 it with a wicked mind 2154?
28 A false 3577 witness 5707 shall perish 6: but the man 376 that heareth 8085 speaketh 1696 constantly 5331.
29 A wicked 7563 man 376 hardeneth 5810 his face 6440: but as for the upright 3477, he directeth 995 3559 his way 1870.
30 There is no wisdom 2451 nor understanding 8394 nor counsel 6098 against the LORD 3068.
31 The horse 5483 is prepared 3559 against the day 3117 of battle 4421: but safety 8668 is of the LORD 3068.
