Dual Panel1The king’s <04428> heart <03820> is in the hand <03027> of the Lord <03068> like channels <06388> of water <04325>; he turns <05186> it wherever <0834> <03605> <05921> he wants <02654>.
2All <03605> of a person’s <0376> ways <01870> seem right <03477> in his own opinion <05869>, but the Lord <03068> evaluates <08505> the motives <03826>.
3To do <06213> righteousness <06666> and justice <04941> is more acceptable <0977> to the Lord <03068> than sacrifice <02077>.
4Haughty <07311> eyes <05869> and a proud <07342> heart <03820>– the agricultural product <05215> of the wicked <07563> is sin <02403>.
5The plans <04284> of the diligent <02742> lead only <0389> to plenty <04195>, but everyone <03605> who is hasty <0213> comes only <0389> to poverty <04270>.
6Making <06467> a fortune <0214> by a lying <08267> tongue <03956> is like a vapor <01892> driven back and forth <05086>; they seek <01245> death <04194>.
7The violence <07701> done by the wicked <07563> will drag <01641> them away <01641> because <03588> they refuse <03985> to do <06213> what is right <04941>.
8The way <01870> of the guilty <02054> person <0376> is devious <02019>, but as for the pure <02134>, his way <06467> is upright <03477>.
9It is better <02896> to live <03427> on <05921> a corner <06438> of the housetop <01406> than in a house <01004> in company <02267> with a quarrelsome <04079> wife <0802>.
10The appetite <05315> of the wicked <07563> desires <0183> evil <07451>; his neighbor <07453> is shown no <03808> favor <02603> in his eyes <05869>.
11When a scorner <03887> is punished <06064>, the naive <06612> becomes <02449> wise <07919>; when a wise <02450> person is instructed, he gains <03947> knowledge <01847>.
12The Righteous <06662> One considers <07919> the house <01004> of the wicked <07563>; he overthrows <05557> the wicked <07563> to their ruin <07451>.
13The one who shuts <0331> his ears <0241> to the cry <02201> of the poor <01800>, he too <01571> will cry out <07121> and will not <03808> be answered <06030>.
14A gift <04976> given in secret <05643> subdues <03711> anger <0639>, and a bribe <07810> given secretly <02436> subdues strong <05794> wrath <02534>.
15Doing <06213> justice <04941> brings joy <08057> to the righteous <06662> and terror <04288> to those who do <06466> evil <0205>.
16The one <0120> who wanders <08582> from the way <01870> of wisdom <07919> will end up <05117> in the company <06951> of the departed <07496>.
17The one who loves <0157> pleasure <08057> will be a poor <04270> person <0376>; whoever loves <0157> wine <03196> and anointing oil <08081> will not <03808> be rich <06238>.
18The wicked <07563> become a ransom <03724> for the righteous <06662>, and the faithless <0898> are taken in the place <08478> of the upright <03477>.
19It is better <02896> to live <03427> in a desert <04057> land <0776> than with a quarrelsome <04066> and easily-provoked <03708> woman <0802>.
20There is desirable <02530> treasure <0214> and olive oil <08081> in the dwelling <05116> of the wise <02450>, but a foolish <03684> person <0120> devours <01104> all he has.
21The one who pursues <07291> righteousness <06666> and love <02617> finds <04672> life <02416>, bounty <06666>, and honor <03519>.
22The wise <02450> person can scale <05927> the city <05892> of the mighty <01368> and bring down <03381> the stronghold <05797> in which they trust <04009>.
23The one who guards <08104> his mouth <06310> and his tongue <03956> keeps <08104> his life <05315> from troubles <06869>.
24A proud <02086> and arrogant <03093> person, whose name <08034> is “Scoffer <03887>,” acts <06213> with overbearing <05678> pride <02087>.
25What the sluggard <06102> desires <08378> will kill <04191> him, for <03588> his hands <03027> refuse <03985> to work <06213>.
26All <03605> day <03117> long he craves <0183> greedily <08378>, but the righteous <06662> gives <05414> and does not <03808> hold back <02820>.
27The wicked <07563> person’s sacrifice <02077> is an abomination <08441>; how much <0637> more when <03588> he brings <0935> it with evil intent <02154>!
28A lying <03577> witness <05707> will perish <06>, but the one <0376> who reports accurately <08085> speaks <01696> forever <05331>.
29A wicked <07563> person <0376> shows boldness <05810> with his face <06440>, but as for the upright <03477>, he <01931> discerns <03559> his ways <01870>.
30There is no <0369> wisdom <02451> and there is no <0369> understanding <08394>, and there is no <0369> counsel <06098> against <05048> the Lord <03069>.
31A horse <05483> is prepared <03559> for the day <03117> of battle <04421>, but the victory <08668> is from the Lord <03068>.
