* The arrangement of the heart in man , and the answer of the tongue , are from Jehovah . * All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes , but Jehovah weighs the spirits . * Roll your works upon Jehovah , and your thoughts will be established . * Jehovah has made all things for a witness ; yea , even the wicked for the day of evil . * Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah ; though hand join in hand , he shall not go unpunished . * By mercy and truth iniquity is purged , and by the fear of Jehovah men turn away from evil . * When a man ’s ways please Jehovah , He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him . * Better is a little with righteousness than great revenue without justice . * A man ’s heart devises his way , but Jehovah arranges his steps . * A divine sentence is in the lips of the king ; his mouth does not transgress in judgment . * A just weight and balance are Jehovah ’s ; all the weight stones of the bag are His work . * It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness ; for the throne is established by righteousness . * Righteous lips are the delight of kings , and they love him who speaks what is right . * The wrath of a king is as messengers of death , but a wise man will appease it . * In the light of the king ’s face is life , and his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain . * How much better it is to get wisdom than gold ! And to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver ! * The way of the upright is to turn away from evil ; he who keeps his way guards his soul . * Pride goes before destruction , and a haughty spirit before a fall . * It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly , than to divide the spoils with the proud . * He who handles a matter wisely shall find good , and whoever trusts in Jehovah , happy is he . * The wise in heart shall be called prudent , and the sweetness of the lips increases learning . * Understanding is a fountain of life to him who has it , but the correction of fools is folly . * The heart of the wise teaches his mouth , and adds learning to his lips . * Pleasant words are like a honeycomb , sweet to the soul , and health to the bones . * There is a way that seems right to a man , but the end of it is the ways of death . * He who labors , labors for himself , for his mouth craves it of him . * A worthless man digs up evil , and his lips are like a burning fire . * A perverse man sows strife , and a whisperer separates intimate friends . * A violent man entices his neighbor , and makes him go in a way that is not good . * He shuts his eyes to invent perverse things ; pursing his lips he brings evil to pass . * The gray head is a crown of glory , if it is found in the way of righteousness . * He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty , and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city . * The lot is cast into the lap , but the whole disposition of it is from Jehovah .
