The aplans of the heart
belong to man
, But the answer
of the tongue
is from the LORD
.
All the ways
of a man
are clean
in his own sight
, But the aLORD
weighs
the 1motives
.
1 aCommit your works
to the LORD
And your plans
will be established
.
The LORD ahas made
everything
for 1its own purpose
, Even
the bwicked
for the day
of evil
.
Everyone who is proud
in heart
is an abomination
to the LORD
; Assuredly
, he will not be unpunished
.
By alovingkindness and truth
iniquity
is atoned
for, And by the 1 bfear
of the LORD
one keeps
away
from evil
.
When a man's ways
are pleasing
to the LORD
, He amakes
even
his enemies
to be at peace
with him.
Better is a little
with righteousness
Than
great
income
with injustice
.
The mind of aman
plans
his way
, But bthe LORD
directs
his steps
.
A divine adecision
is in the lips
of the king
; His mouth
should not 1err
in judgment
.
A ajust balance
and scales
belong to the LORD
; All
the 1weights
of the bag
are His 2concern
.
It is an abomination for kings
to commit
wicked
acts
, For a athrone
is established
on righteousness
.
Righteous lips
are the delight
of kings
, And he who speaks
right
is loved
.
The fury of a king
is like messengers
of death
, But a wise
man
will appease
it.
In the light of a king's
face
is life
, And his favor
is like a cloud
with the 1 aspring
rain
.
How much abetter
it is to get
wisdom
than
gold
! And to get
understanding
is to be chosen
above
silver
.
The ahighway of the upright
is to depart
from evil
; He who watches
his way
preserves
his 1life
.
aPride goes before
destruction
, And a haughty
spirit
before
stumbling
.
It is better to be ahumble
in spirit
with the lowly
Than
to bdivide
the spoil
with the proud
.
He who gives attention
to the word
will afind
good
, And bblessed
is he who trusts
in the LORD
.
The awise in heart
will be called
understanding
, And sweetness
of 1speech
bincreases
2persuasiveness
.
Understanding is a fountain
of life
to one who
has
it, But the discipline
of fools
is folly
.
The aheart of the wise
instructs
his mouth
And adds
1persuasiveness
to his lips
.
aPleasant words
are a honeycomb
, Sweet
to the soul
and bhealing
to the bones
.
aThere is a way
which seems right
to a man
, But its end
is the way
of death
.
A worker's appetite
works
for him, For his 1hunger
urges
him on.
A aworthless man
digs
up evil
, While
1his words
are like bscorching
fire
.
A perverse man
spreads
strife
, And a slanderer
separates
intimate
friends
.
A man of violence
aentices
his neighbor
And leads
him in a way
that is not good
.
He who winks his eyes
does so to devise
perverse
things
; He who compresses
his lips
brings
evil
to pass
.
A agray head
is a crown
of glory
; It bis found
in the way
of righteousness
.
He who is slow
to anger
is better
than
the mighty
, And he who rules
his spirit
, than
he who captures
a city
.
The alot is cast
into the lap
, But its every
bdecision
is from the LORD
.
