The king'sH4428 heartH3820 is in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, as the riversH6388 of waterH4325: he turnethH5186 it whithersoever he willH2654.
Every wayH1870 of a manH376 is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869: but the LORDH3068 ponderethH8505 the heartsH3826.
To doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941 is more acceptableH977 to the LORDH3068 than sacrificeH2077.
An highH7312 lookH5869, and a proudH7342 heartH3820, and the plowingH5215 of the wickedH7563, is sinH2403. {An…: Heb. Haughtiness of eyes} {the plowing: or, the light}
The thoughtsH4284 of the diligentH2742 tend only to plenteousnessH4195; but of every one that is hastyH213 only to wantH4270.
The gettingH6467 of treasuresH214 by a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is a vanityH1892 tossed to and fro ofH5086 them that seekH1245 deathH4194.
The robberyH7701 of the wickedH7563 shall destroyH1641 them; because they refuseH3985 to doH6213 judgmentH4941. {destroy…: Heb. saw them, or, dwell with them}
The wayH1870 of manH376 is frowardH2019 and strangeH2054: but as for the pureH2134, his workH6467 is rightH3477.
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in a cornerH6438 of the housetopH1406, than with a brawlingH4079+H4066 womanH802 in a wideH2267 houseH1004. {a brawling…: Heb. a woman of contentions} {a wide…: Heb. an house of society}
The soulH5315 of the wickedH7563 desirethH183 evilH7451: his neighbourH7453 findeth no favourH2603 in his eyesH5869. {findeth…: Heb. is not favoured}
When the scornerH3887 is punishedH6064, the simpleH6612 is made wiseH2449: and when the wiseH2450 is instructedH7919, he receivethH3947 knowledgeH1847.
The righteousH6662 man wisely considerethH7919 the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563: but God overthrowethH5557 the wickedH7563 for their wickednessH7451.
Whoso stoppethH331 his earsH241 at the cryH2201 of the poorH1800, he also shall cryH7121 himself, but shall not be heardH6030.
A giftH4976 in secretH5643 pacifiethH3711 angerH639: and a rewardH7810 in the bosomH2436 strongH5794 wrathH2534.
It is joyH8057 to the justH6662 to doH6213 judgmentH4941: but destructionH4288 shall be to the workersH6466 of iniquityH205.
The manH120 that wanderethH8582 out of the wayH1870 of understandingH7919 shall remainH5117 in the congregationH6951 of the deadH7496.
He that lovethH157 pleasureH8057 shall be a poorH4270 manH376: he that lovethH157 wineH3196 and oilH8081 shall not be richH6238. {pleasure: or, sport}
The wickedH7563 shall be a ransomH3724 for the righteousH6662, and the transgressorH898 for the uprightH3477.
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in the wildernessH776+H4057, than with a contentiousH4079+H4066 and an angryH3708 womanH802. {in…: Heb. in the land of the desert}
There is treasureH214 to be desiredH2530 and oilH8081 in the dwellingH5116 of the wiseH2450; but a foolishH3684 manH120 spendeth it upH1104.
He that followethH7291 after righteousnessH6666 and mercyH2617 findethH4672 lifeH2416, righteousnessH6666, and honourH3519.
A wiseH2450 man scalethH5927 the cityH5892 of the mightyH1368, and casteth downH3381 the strengthH5797 of the confidenceH4009 thereof.
Whoso keepethH8104 his mouthH6310 and his tongueH3956 keepethH8104 his soulH5315 from troublesH6869.
ProudH2086 and haughtyH3093 scornerH3887 is his nameH8034, who dealethH6213 in proudH2087 wrathH5678. {in proud…: Heb. in the wrath of pride}
The desireH8378 of the slothfulH6102 killethH4191 him; for his handsH3027 refuseH3985 to labourH6213.
He covetethH183 greedilyH8378 all the dayH3117 long: but the righteousH6662 givethH5414 and sparethH2820 not.
The sacrificeH2077 of the wickedH7563 is abominationH8441: how much more, when he bringethH935 it with a wicked mindH2154? {with…: Heb. in wickedness?}
A falseH3577 witnessH5707 shall perishH6: but the manH376 that hearethH8085 speakethH1696 constantlyH5331. {A…: Heb. A witness of lies}
A wickedH7563 manH376 hardenethH5810 his faceH6440: but as for the uprightH3477, he directethH995+H3559 his wayH1870. {directeth: or, considereth}
There is no wisdomH2451 nor understandingH8394 nor counselH6098 against the LORDH3068.
The horseH5483 is preparedH3559 against the dayH3117 of battleH4421: but safetyH8668 is of the LORDH3068. {safety: or, victory}
