211The king’s heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will.+2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.+3To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.+4A high look, and a proud heart, [Even] the lamp of the wicked, is sin.+5The thoughts of the diligent [tend] only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty [hasteth] only to want.+6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.+7The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.+8The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.+9It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.+10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.+11When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.+12The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, [How] the wicked are overthrown to [their] ruin.+13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.+14A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.+15It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.+16The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.+17He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.+18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous [cometh] in the stead of the upright.+19It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.+20There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.+21He that followeth after righteousness and kindness Findeth life, righteousness, and honor.+22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.+23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.+24The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.+25The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.+26There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.+27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!+28A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.+29A wicked man hardeneth his face; But as for the upright, he establisheth his ways.+30There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Jehovah.+31The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.+
