161The plans of the heart belong to man,but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.+2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;but Yahweh weighs the motives.+3Commit your deeds to Yahweh,and your plans shall succeed.+4Yahweh has made everything for its own end—yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.+5Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh:they shall certainly not be unpunished.+6By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for.By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.+7When a man’s ways please Yahweh,he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.+8Better is a little with righteousness,than great revenues with injustice.+9A man’s heart plans his course,but Yahweh directs his steps.+10Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king.He shall not betray his mouth.+11Honest balances and scales are Yahweh’s;all the weights in the bag are his work.+12It is an abomination for kings to do wrong,for the throne is established by righteousness.+13Righteous lips are the delight of kings.They value one who speaks the truth.+14The king’s wrath is a messenger of death,but a wise man will pacify it.+15In the light of the king’s face is life.His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.+16How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.+17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil.He who keeps his way preserves his soul.+18Pride goes before destruction,and a haughty spirit before a fall.+19It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor,than to divide the plunder with the proud.+20He who heeds the Word finds prosperity.Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed.+21The wise in heart shall be called prudent.Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.+22Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it,but the punishment of fools is their folly.+23The heart of the wise instructs his mouth,and adds learning to his lips.+24Pleasant words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.+25There is a way which seems right to a man,but in the end it leads to death.+26The appetite of the laboring man labors for him;for his mouth urges him on.+27A worthless man devises mischief.His speech is like a scorching fire.+28A perverse man stirs up strife.A whisperer separates close friends.+29A man of violence entices his neighbor,and leads him in a way that is not good.+30One who winks his eyes to plot perversities,one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.+31Gray hair is a crown of glory.It is attained by a life of righteousness.+32One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty;one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.+33The lot is cast into the lap,but its every decision is from Yahweh.+
