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