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

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

 3  Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall
be established. 

 4  The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the
wicked for the day of evil. 

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

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

 7  When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his
enemies to be at peace with him. 

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

 9  A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth
his steps. 

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

 11  A just weight and balance are the LORD'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 right. 

 14  The wrath 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 gold! and to
get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! 

 17  The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he
that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. 

 18  Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit
before a fall. 

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

 20  He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and
whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. 

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

 22  Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that
hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. 

 23  The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth
learning to his lips. 

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

 25  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death. 

 26  He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth
craveth it of him. 

 27  An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there
is as a burning fire.  28  A froward man soweth strife: and
a whisperer separateth chief friends. 

 29  A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him
into the way that is not good.  30  He shutteth his eyes to
devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to
pass. 

 31  The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be 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 disposing
thereof is of the LORD.
