* The preparations of the heart in man , and 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 all things for himself ma #aneh #: yea , even the wicked for the day of evil . * Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD : though hand join in hand , he shall not be unpunished . * By mercy and truth iniquity is purged : and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil . * When a mans ways please the LORD , he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him . * Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right . * A mans heart deviseth his way : but the LORD directeth his steps tsa #ad #. * A divine sentence is in the lips of the king : his mouth transgresseth not in judgment . * A just weight and balance are the LORDS : all the weights of the bag are his work ma #aseh #. * 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 kings countenance is life ; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain . * How much better is it to get wisdom than gold ! and to get understanding 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 an haughty spirit before a fall . * Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly #, than to divide the spoil with the proud ge #eh #. * He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good : and whoso trusteth in the LORD , happy is he . * The wise in heart shall be called prudent : and the sweetn4986of the lips increaseth learning . * Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it : but the instruction of fools is folly . * The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth , and addeth learning to his lips . * Pleasant words are as an honeycomb tsuwph #, sweet to the soul , and health to the bones . * There is a way that seemeth right unto a man , but the end thereof are the ways of death . * He that laboureth laboureth for himself ; for his mouth craveth it of 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 chief friends . * A violent man enticeth his neighbour , and leadeth him into the way that is not good . * He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things : moving his lips he bringeth # evil to pass . * The hoary head is a crown of glory tiph #arah #, if it be 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 .
