211The king’s heart
is in the hand of the LORD,
as
the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.+2Every way of a man
is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.+3To do justice and judgment
is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.+4An high look, and a proud heart,
and the plowing of the wicked,
is sin.+5The thoughts of the diligent
tend only to plenteousness; but of every one
that is hasty only to want.+6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.+7The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.+8The way of man
is froward and strange: but
as for
the pure, his work
is right.+9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.+10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.+11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.+12The righteous
man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:
but God overthroweth the wicked for
their wickedness.+13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.+14A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.+15It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction
shall be to the workers of iniquity.+16The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.+17He that loveth pleasure
shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.+18The wicked
shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.+19It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.+20There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.+21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.+22A wise
man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.+23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.+24Proud
and haughty scorner
is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.+25The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.+26He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.+27The sacrifice of the wicked
is abomination: how much more,
when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?+28A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.+29A wicked man hardeneth his face: but
as for the upright, he directeth his way.+30There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.+31The horse
is prepared against the day of battle: but safety
is of the LORD.+
