The king’s heart is* in the hand of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w**, as* the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
Every way of a man is* right in his own eyes: but the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** pondereth the hearts.
To do justice and judgment is* more acceptable to the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** than sacrifice.
An high look, and a proud heart, and* the plowing of the wicked, is* sin.
The thoughts of the diligent tend* only to plenteousness; but of every one that is* hasty only to want.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is* a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
The way of man is* froward and strange: but as for* the pure, his work is* right.
It is* better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
The righteous man* wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God* overthroweth the wicked for their* wickedness.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
It is* joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be* to the workers of iniquity.
The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
He that loveth pleasure shall be* a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
The wicked shall be* a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
It is* better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
There is* treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
A wise man* scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
Proud and* haughty scorner is* his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
The sacrifice of the wicked is* abomination: how much more, when* he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for* the upright, he directeth his way.
There is* no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w**.
