* The preparations of the heart are man 's , but 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 every things for His own purpose , yea , even the wicked for the day of evil . * Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD ; my hand upon it ! he shall not be unpunished . * By mercy and truth iniquity is expiated ; 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 with injustice . * 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 trespasseth not in judgment . * A just balance and scales 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 ! yea , to get understanding is 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 a haughty spirit before a fall . * Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the humble , than to divide the spoil with the proud . * He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good ; and whoso trusteth in the LORD , happy is he . * The wise in heart is called a man of discernment ; and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning . * Understanding is a fountain of life unto him that hath it ; but folly is the chastisement of fools . * The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth , and addeth learning to his lips . * Pleasant words are as a honeycomb , sweet to the soul , and health to the bones . * There is a way which seemeth right unto a man , but the end thereof are the ways of death . * The hunger of the labouring man laboureth for him ; for his mouth compelleth 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 familiar friends . * A man of violence enticeth his neighbour , and leadeth him into a way that is not good . * He that shutteth his eyes , it is to devise froward things ; he that biteth his lips bringeth evil to pass . * The hoary head is a crown of glory , 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 disposing thereof is of the LORD .
