1
The king'sH4428 heartH3820 is in the handH3027 of the LORD,H3068 as the riversH6388 of water:H4325 he turnsH5186 it whereverH5921 he will.H2654
2
EveryH3605 wayH1870 of a manH376 is rightH3477 in his own eyes:H5869 but the LORDH3068 pondersH8505 the hearts.H3826
3
To doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941 is more acceptableH977 to the LORDH3068 than sacrifice.H2077
4
An highH7312 look,H5869 and a proudH7342 heart,H3820 and the plowingH5215 of the wicked,H7563 is sin.H2403
5
The thoughtsH4284 of the diligentH2742 tend onlyH389 to plenty;H4195 but of everyH3605 one that is hastyH213 onlyH389 to want.H4270
6
The gettingH6467 of treasuresH214 by a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is a vanityH1892 tossedH5086 to and fro of them that seekH1245 death.H4194
7
The robberyH7701 of the wickedH7563 shall destroyH1641 them; becauseH3588 they refuseH3985 to doH6213 judgment.H4941
8
The wayH1870 of manH376 is fraudulentH2019 and strange:H2114 but as for the pure,H2134 his workH6467 is right.H3477
9
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in a cornerH6438 of the housetop,H1406 than with a brawlingH4090 womanH802 in a wideH2267 house.H1004
10
The soulH5315 of the wickedH7563 desiresH183 evil:H7451 his neighborH7453 finds noH3808 favorH2603 in his eyes.H5869
11
When the scornerH3887 is punished,H6064 the simpleH6612 is made wise:H2449 and when the wiseH2450 is instructed,H7919 he receivesH3947 knowledge.H1847
12
The righteousH6662 man wiselyH7919 considersH7919 the houseH1004 of the wicked:H7563 but God overthrowsH5557 the wickedH7563 for their wickedness.H7451
13
Whoever stopsH331 his earsH241 at the cryH2201 of the poor,H1800 he alsoH1571 shall cryH7121 himself,H1931 but shall not be heard.H6030
14
A giftH4976 in secretH5643 pacifiesH3711 anger:H639 and a rewardH7810 in the bosomH2436 strongH5794 wrath.H2534
15
It is joyH8057 to the justH6662 to doH6213 judgment:H4941 but destructionH4288 shall be to the workersH6466 of iniquity.H205
16
The manH120 that wandersH8582 out of the wayH1870 of understandingH7919 shall remainH5117 in the congregationH6951 of the dead.H7496
17
He that lovesH157 pleasureH8057 shall be a poorH4270 man:H376 he that lovesH157 wineH3196 and oilH8081 shall not be rich.H6238
18
The wickedH7563 shall be a ransomH3724 for the righteous,H6662 and the transgressorH898 for the upright.H3477
19
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in the wilderness,H4057 than with a contentiousH4066 and an angryH3708 woman.H802
20
There is treasureH214 to be desiredH2530 and oilH8081 in the dwellingH5116 of the wise;H2450 but a foolishH3684 manH120 spendsH1104 it up.
21
He that followsH7291 after righteousnessH6666 and mercyH2617 findsH4672 life,H2416 righteousness,H6666 and honor.H3519
22
A wiseH2450 man scalesH5927 the cityH5892 of the mighty,H1368 and castsH3381 downH3381 the strengthH5797 of the confidenceH4009 thereof.
23
Whoever keepsH8104 his mouthH6310 and his tongueH3956 keepsH8104 his soulH5315 from troubles.H6869
24
ProudH2086 and haughtyH3093 scornerH3887 is his name,H8034 who dealsH6213 in proudH2087 wrath.H5678
25
The desireH8378 of the slothfulH6102 killsH4191 him; for his handsH3027 refuseH3985 to labor.H6213
26
He covetsH183 greedilyH8378 allH3605 the dayH3117 long: but the righteousH6662 givesH5414 and sparesH2820 not.
27
The sacrificeH2077 of the wickedH7563 is abomination:H8441 howH637 muchH637 more, whenH3588 he bringsH935 it with a wickedH2154 mind?
28
A falseH3577 witnessH5707 shall perish:H6 but the manH376 that hearsH8085 speaksH1696 constantly.H5331
29
A wickedH7563 manH376 hardensH5810 his face:H6440 but as for the upright,H3477 he directsH3559 his way.H1870
30
There is noH369 wisdomH2451 norH369 understandingH8394 norH369 counselH6098 againstH5048 the LORD.H3068
31
The horseH5483 is preparedH3559 against the dayH3117 of battle:H4421 but safetyH8668 is of the LORD.H3068
