The king's heart is like channels of water in the LORD's hand; he turns it wherever he pleases.
Every way of a man seems right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Haughty eyes, a proud heart, and the lamp of the wicked—all of these are sin.
The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to want.
Treasures gained by a lying tongue are a vapor driven away, a pursuit of death.
The violence of the wicked sweeps them away, because they refuse to do what is just.
The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.
Better to live on a corner of the roof than in a shared house with a quarrelsome wife.
The soul of the wicked craves evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
When a scoffer is punished, the simple grow wiser; when the wise are instructed, they gain knowledge.
The righteous one observes the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.
Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.
A gift in secret calms anger, and a bribe slipped under the cloak soothes fierce wrath.
When justice is done, it is joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.
Whoever strays from the way of understanding will come to rest in the assembly of the dead.
Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich.
The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the treacherous take the place of the upright.
Better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful wife.
Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of the wise, but a fool devours it all.
Whoever pursues righteousness and mercy will find life, righteousness, and honor.
A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trusted.
Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
"Scoffer" is the name of the proud and arrogant man who acts with overbearing insolence.
The craving of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to work.
All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.
The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable—how much more when brought with evil intent.
A false witness will perish, but the word of one who listens will endure.
A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his way.
No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can stand against the LORD.
The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory belongs to the LORD.
