| 1 | The purposes of the heart are of man, but the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah. |
| 2 | All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Jehovah weigheth the spirits. |
| 3 | Commit thy works unto Jehovah, and thy thoughts shall be established. |
| 4 | Jehovah hath wrought everything on his own account, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. |
| 5 | Every proud heart is an abomination to Jehovah: hand for hand, he shall not be held innocent. |
| 6 | By loving-kindness and truth iniquity is atoned for; and by the fear of Jehovah [men] depart from evil. |
| 7 | When a man's ways please Jehovah, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. |
| 8 | Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues without right. |
| 9 | The heart of man deviseth his way, but Jehovah directeth his steps. |
| 10 | An oracle is on the lips of the king: his mouth will not err in judgment. |
| 11 | The just balance and scales are Jehovah's; all the weights of the bag are his work. |
| 12 | It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; for the throne is established by righteousness. |
| 13 | Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love him that speaketh aright. |
| 14 | The fury of a king is [as] messengers of death; but a wise man will pacify it. |
| 15 | In the light of the king's countenance is life, and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. |
| 16 | How much better is it to get wisdom than fine gold, and the getting of intelligence to be preferred to silver! |
| 17 | The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that taketh heed to his way keepeth his soul. |
| 18 | Pride [goeth] before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. |
| 19 | Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the meek, than to divide the spoil with the proud. |
| 20 | He that giveth heed to the word shall find good; and whoso confideth in Jehovah, happy is he. |
| 21 | The wise in heart is called intelligent, and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. |
| 22 | Wisdom is a fountain of life for him that hath it; but the instruction of fools is folly. |
| 23 | The heart of the wise maketh his mouth intelligent, and upon his lips increaseth learning. |
| 24 | Pleasant words are [as] a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health for the bones. |
| 25 | There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death. |
| 26 | The appetite of the labourer laboureth for him, for his mouth urgeth him on. |
| 27 | A man of Belial diggeth up evil, and on his lips there is as a scorching fire. |
| 28 | A false man soweth contention; and a talebearer separateth very friends. |
| 29 | A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into a way that is not good. |
| 30 | He that shutteth his eyes, [it is] to devise froward things; biting his lips, he bringeth evil to pass. |
| 31 | The hoary head is a crown of glory, [if] it is found in the way of righteousness. |
| 32 | He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. |
| 33 | The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole decision is of Jehovah. |
