Dual Panel1The plans<4633> of the heart<3820> belong to man<120>, But the answer<4617> of the tongue<3956> is from the LORD<3068>.
2All<3605> the ways<1870> of a man<376> are clean<2134> in his own sight<5869>, But the LORD<3068> weighs<8505> the motives<7307>.
3Commit<1556> your works<4639> to the LORD<3068> And your plans<4284> will be established<3559>.
4The LORD<3068> has made<6466> everything<3605> for its own purpose<4617>, Even<1571> the wicked<7563> for the day<3117> of evil<7463>.
5Everyone<3605> who is proud<1364> in heart<3820> is an abomination<8441> to the LORD<3068>; Assuredly<3027>, he will not be unpunished<5352>.
6By lovingkindness<2617> and truth<571> iniquity<5771> is atoned<3722> for, And by the fear<3374> of the LORD<3068> one keeps<5493> away<5493> from evil<7451>.
7When a man's<376> ways<1870> are pleasing<7521> to the LORD<3068>, He makes<7999> even<1571> his enemies<340> to be at peace<7999> with him.
8Better<2896> is a little<4592> with righteousness<6666> Than<4480> great<7230> income<8393> with injustice<3808><4941>.
9The mind<3820> of man<120> plans<2803> his way<1870>, But the LORD<3068> directs<3559> his steps<6806>.
10A divine<7081> decision<7081> is in the lips<8193> of the king<4428>; His mouth<6310> should not err<4603> in judgment<4941>.
11A just<4941> balance<6425> and scales<3976> belong to the LORD<3068>; All<3605> the weights<68> of the bag<3599> are His concern<4639>.
12It is an abomination<8441> for kings<4428> to commit<6213> wicked<7562> acts<7562>, For a throne<3678> is established<3559> on righteousness<6666>.
13Righteous<6664> lips<8193> are the delight<7522> of kings<4428>, And he who speaks<1696> right<3477> is loved<157>.
14The fury<2534> of a king<4428> is like messengers<4397> of death<4194>, But a wise<2450> man<376> will appease<3722> it.
15In the light<216> of a king's<4428> face<6440> is life<2425>, And his favor<7522> is like a cloud<5645> with the spring<4456> rain<4456>.
16How<4100> much better<2896> it is to get<7069> wisdom<2451> than<4480> gold<2742>! And to get<7069> understanding<998> is to be chosen<977> above<4480> silver<3701>.
17The highway<4546> of the upright<3477> is to depart<5493> from evil<7451>; He who watches<5341> his way<1870> preserves<8104> his life<5315>.
18Pride<1347> goes before<6440> destruction<7667>, And a haughty<1363> spirit<7307> before<6440> stumbling<3783>.
19It is better<2896> to be humble<8217> in spirit<7307> with the lowly<6041> Than<4480> to divide<2505> the spoil<7998> with the proud<1343>.
20He who gives<7919> attention<7919> to the word<1697> will find<4672> good<2896>, And blessed<835> is he who trusts<982> in the LORD<3068>.
21The wise<2450> in heart<3820> will be called<7121> understanding<995>, And sweetness<4986> of speech<8193> increases<3254> persuasiveness<3948>.
22Understanding<7922> is a fountain<4726> of life<2425> to one who<1167> has<1167> it, But the discipline<4148> of fools<191> is folly<200>.
23The heart<3820> of the wise<2450> instructs<7919> his mouth<6310> And adds<3254> persuasiveness<3948> to his lips<8193>.
24Pleasant<5278> words<561> are a honeycomb<1706><6688>, Sweet<4966> to the soul<5315> and healing<4832> to the bones<6106>.
25There<3426> is a way<1870> which seems right<3477> to a man<376>, But its end<319> is the way<1870> of death<4194>.
26A worker's<6001> appetite<5315> works<5998> for him, For his hunger<6310> urges<404> him on.
27A worthless<1100> man<376> digs<3738> up evil<7463>, While<5921> his words<8193> are like scorching<6866> fire<784>.
28A perverse<8419> man<376> spreads<7971> strife<4066>, And a slanderer<7279> separates<6504> intimate<441> friends<441>.
29A man<376> of violence<2555> entices<6601> his neighbor<7453> And leads<1980> him in a way<1870> that is not good<2896>.
30He who winks<6095> his eyes<5869> does so to devise<2803> perverse<8419> things<8419>; He who compresses<7169> his lips<8193> brings<3615> evil<7463> to pass<3615>.
31A gray<7872> head<7872> is a crown<5850> of glory<8597>; It is found<4672> in the way<1870> of righteousness<6666>.
32He who<750> is slow<750> to anger<639> is better<2896> than<4480> the mighty<1368>, And he who rules<4910> his spirit<7307>, than<4480> he who captures<3920> a city<5892>.
33The lot<1486> is cast<2904> into the lap<2436>, But its every<3605> decision<4941> is from the LORD<3068>.
