[1]  The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

[1]  ---

[2]  All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weighs the spirits.

[2]  ---

[3]  Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.

[3]  ---

[4]  The LORD has made all things for himself: yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.

[4]  ---

[5]  Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

[5]  ---

[6]  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

[6]  ---

[7]  When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

[7]  ---

[8]  Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

[8]  ---

[9]  A man’s heart devises his way: but the LORD directs his steps.

[9]  ---

[10]  A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresses not in judgment.

[10]  ---

[11]  A just weight and balance are the LORD’s: all the weights of the bag are his work.

[11]  ---

[12]  It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

[12]  ---

[13]  Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaks right.

[13]  ---

[14]  The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

[14]  ---

[15]  In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.

[15]  ---

[16]  How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

[16]  ---

[17]  The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.

[17]  ---

[18]  Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

[18]  ---

[19]  Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

[19]  ---

[20]  He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.

[20]  ---

[21]  The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.

[21]  ---

[22]  Understanding is a wellspring of life to him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

[22]  ---

[23]  The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.

[23]  ---

[24]  Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

[24]  ---

[25]  There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

[25]  ---

[26]  He that labors labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.

[26]  ---

[27]  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

[27]  ---

[28]  A fraudulent man sows strife: and a whisperer separates chief friends.

[28]  ---

[29]  A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him into the way that is not good.

[29]  ---

[30]  He shuts his eyes to devise fraudulent things: moving his lips he brings evil to pass.

[30]  ---

[31]  The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

[31]  ---

[32]  He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.

[32]  ---

[33]  The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

[33]  ---
