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.

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}

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.
