|---|---|---|---|
| The plans of the mind belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. | |||
| All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit. | |||
| Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established. | |||
| The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. | |||
| Every one who is arrogant is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished. | |||
| By loyalty and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil. | |||
| When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. | |||
| Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice. | |||
| Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice. | |||
| A man's mind plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. | |||
| Inspired decisions are on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment. | |||
| A just balance and scales are the LORD's; all the weights in the bag are his work. | |||
| It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness. | |||
| Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right. | |||
| A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will appease it. | |||
| In the light of a king's face there is life, and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain. | |||
| To get wisdom is better than gold; to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. | |||
| The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; he who guards his way preserves his life. | |||
| Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. | |||
| It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. | |||
| He who gives heed to the word will prosper, and happy is he who trusts in the LORD. | |||
| The wise of heart is called a man of discernment, and pleasant speech increases persuasiveness. | |||
| Wisdom is a fountain of life to him who has it, but folly is the chastisement of fools. | |||
| The mind of the wise makes his speech judicious, and adds persuasiveness to his lips. | |||
| Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. | |||
| There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. | |||
| A worker's appetite works for him; his mouth urges him on. | |||
| A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire. | |||
| A perverse man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. | |||
| A man of violence entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good. | |||
| He who winks his eyes plans perverse things, he who compresses his lips brings evil to pass. | |||
| A hoary head is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life. | |||
| 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 decision is wholly from the Lord. | |||
