1
The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD as the rivers of water he turneth it whithersoever he will
2
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes but the LORD pondereth the hearts
3
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice
4
An high look and a proud heart and the plowing of the wicked is sin
5
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness but of every one that is hasty only to want
6
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death
7
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them because they refuse to do judgment
8
The way of man is froward and strange but as for the pure his work is right
9
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house
10
The soul of the wicked desireth evil his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes
11
When the scorner is punished the simple is made wise and when the wise is instructed he receiveth knowledge
12
The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness
13
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor he also shall cry himself but shall not be heard
14
A gift in secret pacifieth anger and a reward in the bosom strong wrath
15
It is joy to the just to do judgment but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity
16
The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead
17
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich
18
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous and the transgressor for the upright
19
It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with a contentious and an angry woman
20
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise but a foolish man spendeth it up
21
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life righteousness and honour
22
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof
23
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles
24
Proud and haughty scorner is his name who dealeth in proud wrath
25
The desire of the slothful killeth him for his hands refuse to labour
26
He coveteth greedily all the day long but the righteous giveth and spareth not
27
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination how much more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind
28
A false witness shall perish but the man that heareth speaketh constantly
29
A wicked man hardeneth his face but as for the upright he directeth his way
30
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD
31
The horse is prepared against the day of battle but safety is of the LORD
