1 The plans of the heart belong to man;
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;
3 Commit thy works unto Jehovah,
4 Jehovah hath made everything for its own end;
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah:
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for;
7 When a man’s ways please Jehovah,
8 Better is a little, with righteousness,
9 A man’s heart deviseth his way;
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king;
11 A just balance and scales are Jehovah’s;
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness;
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings;
14 The wrath of a king is
15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life;
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:
18 Pride
19 Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor,
20 He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good;
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent;
22 Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it;
23 The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth,
24 Pleasant words are
25 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
26 The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him;
27 A worthless man deviseth mischief;
28 A perverse man scattereth abroad strife;
29 A man of violence enticeth his neighbor,
30 He that shutteth his eyes,
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory;
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
33 The lot is cast into the lap;
