Dual Panel1The intentions <04633> of the heart <03820> belong to a man <0120>, but the answer <04617> of the tongue <03956> comes from the Lord <03068>.
2All <03605> a person’s <0376> ways <01870> seem right <02134> in his own opinion <05869>, but the Lord <03069> evaluates <08505> the motives <07307>.
3Commit <01556> your works <04639> to <0413> the Lord <03068>, and your plans <04284> will be established <03559>.
4The Lord <03068> works <06466> everything <03605> for its own ends <04617>– even <01571> the wicked <07563> for the day <03117> of disaster <07451>.
5The Lord <03068> abhors <08441> every <03605> arrogant <01362> person <03820>; rest assured <03027> <03027> that they will not <03808> go unpunished <05352>.
6Through loyal love <02617> and truth <0571> iniquity <05771> is appeased <03722>; through fearing <03374> the Lord <03068> one avoids <05493> evil <07451>.
7When a person’s <0376> ways <01870> are pleasing <07521> to the Lord <03068>, he even <01571> reconciles <07999> his enemies <0341> to <0854> himself.
8Better <02896> to have a little <04592> with righteousness <06666> than to have abundant <07230> income <08393> without <03808> justice <04941>.
9A person <0120> <03820> plans <02803> his course <01870>, but the Lord <03068> directs <03559> his steps <06806>.
10The divine verdict <07081> is in <05921> the words <08193> of the king <04428>, his pronouncements <06310> must not <03808> act treacherously against <04603> justice <04941>.
11Honest <04941> scales <06425> and balances <03976> are from the Lord <03068>; all <03605> the weights <068> in the bag <03599> are his handiwork <04639>.
12Doing <06213> wickedness <07562> is an abomination <08441> to kings <04428>, because <03588> a throne <03678> is established <03559> in righteousness <06666>.
13The delight <07522> of kings <04428> is righteous <06664> counsel <08193>, and they love <0157> the one who speaks <01696> uprightly <03477>.
14A king’s <04428> wrath <02534> is like a messenger <04397> of death <04194>, but a wise <02450> person <0376> appeases <03722> it.
15In the light <0216> of the king’s <04428> face <06440> there is life <02416>, and his favor <07522> is like the clouds <05645> of the spring rain <04456>.
16How <04100> much better <02896> it is to acquire <07069> wisdom <02451> than gold <02742>; to acquire <07069> understanding <0998> is more desirable <0977> than silver <03701>.
17The highway <04546> of the upright <03477> is to turn away <05493> from evil <07451>; the one who guards <08104> his way <01870> safeguards <05341> his life <05315>.
18Pride <01347> goes before <06440> destruction <07667>, and a haughty <01363> spirit <07307> before <06440> a fall <03783>.
19It is better <02896> to be lowly <08217> in spirit <07307> with <0854> the afflicted <06041> than to share <02505> the spoils <07998> with <0854> the proud <01343>.
20The one who deals wisely <07919> in <05921> a matter <01697> will find <04672> success <02896>, and blessed <0835> is the one who trusts <0982> in the Lord <03068>.
21The one who is wise <02450> in heart <03820> is called <07121> discerning <0995>, and kind <04986> speech <08193> increases <03254> persuasiveness <03948>.
22Insight <07922> is like a life-giving <02416> fountain <04726> to the one who possesses <01167> it, but folly <0200> leads to the discipline <04148> of fools <0191>.
23A wise <02450> person’s heart <03820> makes his speech <06310> wise <07919> and it adds <03254> persuasiveness <03948> to <05921> his words <08193>.
24Pleasant <05278> words <0561> are like a honeycomb <01706> <06688>, sweet <04966> to the soul <05315> and healing <04832> to the bones <06106>.
25There <03426> is a way <01870> that seems right <03477> to <06440> a person <0376>, but its end <0319> is the way <01870> that leads to death <04194>.
26A laborer’s <06001> appetite <05315> works <05998> on his behalf, for <03588> his hunger <06310> urges <0404> him to work.
27A wicked <01100> scoundrel <0376> digs up <03738> evil <07451>, and his slander <08193> is like a scorching <06867> fire <0784>.
28A perverse <08419> person <0376> spreads <07971> dissension <04066>, and a gossip <05372> separates <06504> the closest friends <0441>.
29A violent <02555> person <0376> entices <06601> his neighbor <07453>, and leads <01980> him down <01980> a path <01870> that is terrible <02896> <03808>.
30The one who winks <06095> his eyes <05869> devises <02803> perverse things <08419>, and one who compresses <07169> his lips <08193> brings <03615> about evil <07451>.
31Gray hair <07872> is like a crown <05850> of glory <08597>; it is attained <04672> in the path <01870> of righteousness <06666>.
32Better <02896> to be slow <0750> to anger <0639> than to be a mighty warrior <01368>, and one who controls <04910> his temper <07307> is better than one who captures <03920> a city <05892>.
33The dice <01486> are thrown <02904> into the lap <02436>, but their every <03605> decision <04941> is from the Lord <03068>.
