The preparations of the heart
in man
, and the answer
of the tongue
, is from the LORD
.
All the ways of a man
are clean
in his own eyes
; but the LORD
weigheth
the spirits
.
Commit thy works
unto the LORD
, and thy thoughts
shall be established
.
The LORD hath made
all things for himself
: yea, even the wicked
for the day
of evil
.
Every one that is proud in heart
is an abomination
to the LORD
: though hand
join in hand
, he shall not be unpunished
.
By mercy and truth
iniquity
is purged
: and by the fear
of the LORD
men depart
from evil
.
When a man's ways
please
the LORD
, he maketh even his enemies
to be at peace
with him.
Better is a little
with righteousness
than great
revenues
without right
.
A man's heart
deviseth
his way
: but the LORD
directeth
his steps
.
A divine sentence is in the lips
of the king
: his mouth
transgresseth
not in judgment
.
A just weight
and balance
are the LORD'S
: all the weights
of the bag
are his work
.
It is an abomination to kings
to commit
wickedness
: for the throne
is established
by righteousness
.
Righteous lips
are the delight
of kings
; and they love
him that speaketh
right
.
The wrath of a king
is as messengers
of death
: but a wise
man
will pacify
it.
In the light of the king's
countenance
is life
; and his favour
is as a cloud
of the latter rain
.
How much better is it to get
wisdom
than gold
! and to get
understanding
rather to be chosen
than silver
!
The highway of the upright
is to depart
from evil
: he that keepeth
his way
preserveth
his soul
.
Pride goeth before
destruction
, and an haughty
spirit
before
a fall
.
Better it is to be of an humble
spirit
with the lowly
, than to divide
the spoil
with the proud
.
He that handleth a matter wisely
shall find
good
: and whoso trusteth
in the LORD
, happy
is he.
The wise in heart
shall be called
prudent
: and the sweetness
of the lips
increaseth
learning
.
Understanding is a wellspring
of life
unto him that hath
it: but the instruction
of fools
is folly
.
The heart of the wise
teacheth
his mouth
, and addeth
learning
to his lips
.
Pleasant words
are as an honeycomb
, sweet
to the soul
, and health
to the bones
.
There is a way
that seemeth right
unto
a man
, but the end
thereof are the ways
of death
.
He that laboureth
laboureth
for himself; for his mouth
craveth
it of him.
An ungodly man
diggeth up
evil
: and in his lips
there is as a burning
fire
.
A froward man
soweth
strife
: and a whisperer
separateth
chief friends
.
A violent man
enticeth
his neighbour
, and leadeth
him into the way
that is not good
.
He shutteth his eyes
to devise
froward things
: moving
his lips
he bringeth
evil
to pass
.
The hoary head is a crown
of glory
, if it be found
in the way
of righteousness
.
He that is slow to anger
is better
than the mighty
; and he that ruleth
his spirit
than he that taketh
a city
.
The lot is cast
into the lap
; but the whole disposing
thereof is of the LORD
.
