The Book of Proverbs

The orderings of the heart [are] for man, and the answer of the tongue from Jehovah.

All the ways of a man [are] pure in his own eyes, but Jehovah weighs the spirits.

Roll your works on Jehovah, and your thoughts shall be established.

Jehovah has made all for His purpose, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Everyone proud in heart [is] disgusting to Jehovah; [though] hand [join] in hand he shall not be innocent.

Iniquity is covered by mercy and truth, and in the fear of Jehovah, [men] turn aside from evil.

When a man's ways please Jehovah, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Better [is] a little with righteousness than great increase without right.

A godly decision [is] on the lips of the king, his mouth is not treacherous in judgment.

A just scale and balances [are] to Jehovah, all the stones of the bag [are] His work.

[It is] an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, for the throne [is] made firm by righteousness.

Righteous lips are the kings' delight, and he speaking uprightly is loved.

A king's fury [is] as messengers of death, but a wise man will cover it.

In the light of the face of the king [is] life, and his favor [is] like a cloud of the latter rain.

How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding [is] to be chosen above silver.

The way of the upright [is] to turn away from evil, he keeping his soul watches his way.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

It [is] better [to be] of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.

He who acts prudently shall find good, and he who trusts in Jehovah, Oh how happy [is] he!

The wise in heart shall be called prudent, and sweetness of lips increases learning.

Prudence [is] a fountain of life to those who own it, but the teaching of fools [is] folly.

The heart of the wise makes his mouth prudent, and he adds learning on his lips.

Pleasant words [are] an overflowing of honey, sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones.

There is a way [that seems] right to a man's face, but the end of it [is] the ways of death.

He who labors works for himself, for his mouth urges him on.

A worthless man plots evil, and on his lips [it is] like a burning fire.

A perverse man causes strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.

A violent man lures his neighbor, and causes him to go in a way [that is] not good.

He who shuts his eyes to plan perverse things, compressing his lips, he brings evil to pass.

The gray head [is] a crown of glory; it is found in the way of righteousness.

One slow to anger [is] better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

The lot is cast into the lap, but all ordering of it [is] from Jehovah.
