* The purposes of the heart are of man , but the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah . * All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes ; but Jehovah weigheth the spirits . * Commit thy works unto Jehovah , and thy thoughts shall be established . * Jehovah hath wrought everything on his own account , yea , even the wicked for the day of evil . * Every proud heart is an abomination to Jehovah : hand for hand , he shall not be held innocent . * By loving-kindness and truth iniquity is atoned for ; and by the fear of Jehovah [men ] depart from evil . * When a man 's ways please Jehovah , he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him . * Better is a little with righteousness , than great revenues without right . * The heart of man deviseth his way , but Jehovah directeth his steps . * An oracle is on the lips of the king : his mouth will not err in judgment . * The just balance and scales are Jehovah '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 aright . * The fury 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 fine gold , and the getting of intelligence to be preferred to silver ! * The highway of the upright is to depart from evil : he that taketh heed to his way keepeth his soul . * Pride [goeth ] before destruction , and a haughty spirit before a fall . * Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the meek , than to divide the spoil with the proud . * He that giveth heed to the word shall find good ; and whoso confideth in Jehovah , happy is he . * The wise in heart is called intelligent , and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning . * Wisdom is a fountain of life for him that hath it ; but the instruction of fools is folly . * The heart of the wise maketh his mouth intelligent , and upon his lips increaseth learning . * Pleasant words are [as ] a honeycomb , sweet to the soul , and health for the bones . * There is a way that seemeth right unto a man , but the end thereof is the ways of death . * The appetite of the labourer laboureth for him , for his mouth urgeth him on . * A man of Belial diggeth up evil , and on his lips there is as a scorching fire . * A false man soweth contention ; and a talebearer separateth very friends . * A violent man enticeth his neighbour , and leadeth him into a way that is not good . * He that shutteth his eyes , [it is ] to devise froward things ; biting his lips , he bringeth evil to pass . * The hoary head is a crown of glory , [if ] it is 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 decision is of Jehovah .
