|---|---|
| 1 | The preparations of the heart in man, and the answere of the tongue, is from the Lord. |
| 2 | All the wayes of a man are cleane in his owne eyes: but the Lord weigheth the spirits. |
| 3 | Commit thy workes vnto the Lord, and thy thoughts shalbe established. |
| 4 | The Lord hath made all things for himselfe: yea, euen the wicked for the day of euill. |
| 5 | Euery one that is proud in heart, is an abomination to the Lord: though hand ioyne in hand, he shall not be vnpunished. |
| 6 | By mercy and trueth iniquitie is purged: and by the feare of the Lord, men depart from euill. |
| 7 | When a mans wayes please the Lord, he maketh euen his enemies to be at peace with him. |
| 8 | Better is a little with righteousnesse, then great reuenewes without right. |
| 9 | A mans heart deuiseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. |
| 10 | A diuine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in iudgement. |
| 11 | A iust weight and ballance are the Lords: all the weights of the bagge are his worke. |
| 12 | It is an abomination to kings to commit wickednesse: for the throne is established by righteousnesse. |
| 13 | Righteous lips are the delight of kings: and they loue him that speaketh right. |
| 14 | The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacifie it. |
| 15 | In the light of the kings countenance is life, and his fauour is as a cloude of the latter raine. |
| 16 | How much better is it to get wisedome, then gold? and to get vnderstanding, rather to be chosen then siluer? |
| 17 | The high way of the vpright is to depart from euill: hee that keepeth his way, preserueth his soule. |
| 18 | Pride goeth before destruction: and an hautie spirit before a fall. |
| 19 | Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, then to diuide the spoile with the proud. |
| 20 | He that handleth a matter wisely, shall finde good: and who so trusteth in the Lord, happy is hee. |
| 21 | The wise in heart shall be called prudent; and the sweetnesse of the lips increaseth learning. |
| 22 | Understanding is a well-spring of life vnto him that hath it: but the instruction of fooles is folly. |
| 23 | The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lippes. |
| 24 | Pleasant words are as an honycombe, sweete to the soule, and health to the bones. |
| 25 | There is a way that seemeth right vnto a man; but the end thereof are the wayes of death. |
| 26 | Hee that laboureth, laboureth for himselfe; for his mouth craueth it of him. |
| 27 | An vngodly man diggeth vp euill: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. |
| 28 | A froward man soweth strife; & a whisperer separateth chiefe friends. |
| 29 | A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. |
| 30 | He shutteth his eyes to deuise froward things: moouing his lips he bringeth euill to passe. |
| 31 | The hoary head is a crowne of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousnesse. |
| 32 | He that is slow to anger, is better then the mighty: and he that ruleth his spirit, then he that taketh a citie. |
| 33 | The lot is cast into the lap: but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. |
