The preparationsH4633 of the heartH3820 in manH120, and the answerH4617 of the tongueH3956, is from the LORDH3068. {preparations: or, disposings}
All the waysH1870 of a manH376 are cleanH2134 in his own eyesH5869; but the LORDH3068 weighethH8505 the spiritsH7307.
CommitH1556 thy worksH4639 unto the LORDH3068, and thy thoughtsH4284 shall be establishedH3559. {Commit: Heb. Roll}
The LORDH3068 hath madeH6466 all things for himselfH4617: yea, even the wickedH7563 for the dayH3117 of evilH7451.
Every one that is proudH1362 in heartH3820 is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: though handH3027 join in handH3027, he shall not be unpunishedH5352. {unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
By mercyH2617 and truthH571 iniquityH5771 is purgedH3722: and by the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 men departH5493 from evilH7451.
When a man'sH376 waysH1870 pleaseH7521 the LORDH3068, he maketh even his enemiesH341 to be at peaceH7999 with him.

It is an abominationH8441 to kingsH4428 to commitH6213 wickednessH7562: for the throneH3678 is establishedH3559 by righteousnessH6666.
RighteousH6664 lipsH8193 are the delightH7522 of kingsH4428; and they loveH157 him that speakethH1696 rightH3477.
The wrathH2534 of a kingH4428 is as messengersH4397 of deathH4194: but a wiseH2450 manH376 will pacifyH3722 it.
In the lightH216 of the king'sH4428 countenanceH6440 is lifeH2416; and his favourH7522 is as a cloudH5645 of the latter rainH4456.
How much betterH2896 is it to getH7069 wisdomH2451 than goldH2742! and to getH7069 understandingH998 rather to be chosenH977 than silverH3701!
The highwayH4546 of the uprightH3477 is to departH5493 from evilH7451: he that keepethH5341 his wayH1870 preservethH8104 his soulH5315.
PrideH1347 goeth beforeH6440 destructionH7667, and an haughtyH1363 spiritH7307 beforeH6440 a fallH3783.
BetterH2896 it is to be of an humbleH8217 spiritH7307 with the lowlyH6035+H6041, than to divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the proudH1343.
He that handleth a matterH1697 wiselyH7919 shall findH4672 goodH2896: and whoso trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, happyH835 is he. {handleth…: or, understandeth a matter}
The wiseH2450 in heartH3820 shall be calledH7121 prudentH995: and the sweetnessH4986 of the lipsH8193 increasethH3254 learningH3948.
UnderstandingH7922 is a wellspringH4726 of lifeH2416 unto him that hathH1167 it: but the instructionH4148 of foolsH191 is follyH200.
The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 teachethH7919 his mouthH6310, and addethH3254 learningH3948 to his lipsH8193. {teacheth: Heb. maketh wise}
PleasantH5278 wordsH561 are as an honeycombH6688+H1706, sweetH4966 to the soulH5315, and healthH4832 to the bonesH6106.
There isH3426 a wayH1870 that seemeth rightH3477 untoH6440 a manH376, but the endH319 thereof are the waysH1870 of deathH4194.
HeH5315 that labourethH6001 labourethH5998 for himself; for his mouthH6310 cravethH404 it of him. {He…: Heb. The soul of him that} {craveth…: Heb. boweth unto him}
An ungodlyH1100 manH376 diggeth upH3738 evilH7451: and in his lipsH8193 there is as a burningH6867 fireH784. {An…: Heb. A man of Belial}
A frowardH8419 manH376 sowethH7971 strifeH4066: and a whispererH5372 separatethH6504 chief friendsH441. {soweth: Heb. sendeth forth}
A violentH2555 manH376 enticethH6601 his neighbourH7453, and leadethH3212 him into the wayH1870 that is not goodH2896.
He shuttethH6095 his eyesH5869 to deviseH2803 froward thingsH8419: movingH7169 his lipsH8193 he bringethH3615 evilH7451 to passH3615.
The hoary headH7872 is a crownH5850 of gloryH8597, if it be foundH4672 in the wayH1870 of righteousnessH6666.
He that is slowH750 to angerH639 is betterH2896 than the mightyH1368; and he that rulethH4910 his spiritH7307 than he that takethH3920 a cityH5892.
The lotH1486 is castH2904 into the lapH2436; but the whole disposingH4941 thereof is of the LORDH3068.
