[1]The king's heart is in the hand of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever He will.[2]Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 weigheth the hearts.[3]To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 than sacrifice.[4]A haughty look, and a proud heart—the tillage of the wicked is sin.[5]The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.[6]The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vapour driven to and fro; they that seek them seek death.[7]The violence of the wicked shall drag them away; because they refuse to do justly.[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 in a house in common with contentious woman.[10]The soul of the wicked desireth evil; his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.[11]When the scorner is punished, the thoughtless is made wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.[12]The Righteous One considereth the house of the wicked; overthrowing the wicked to their ruin.[13]Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be answered.[14]A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.[15]To do justly is joy to the righteous, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.[16]The man that strayeth out of the way of understanding shall rest in the congregation of the shades.[17]He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.[18]The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the faithless cometh in the stead of the upright.[19]It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.[20]There is desirable treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swalloweth it up.[21]He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, prosperity, and honour.[22]A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and bringeth down the stronghold wherein it trusteth.[23]Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.[24]A proud and haughty man, scorner is his name, even he that dealeth in overbearing pride.[25]The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.[26]There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; but the righteous giveth and spareth not.[27]Th sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more, when he bringeth it with the proceed wickedness?[28]A false witness shall perish; but the man that obeyeth shall speak unchallenged.[29]A wicked man hardeneth his face; but as for the upright, he looketh well to his way.[30]There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.[31]The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but victory is of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
