New International Version Help
16To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.H4633H3820H120H4617H3956H3068 2All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.H1870H376H2134H5869H3068H8505H7307 3Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.H1556H4639H3068H4284H3559 4The LORD works out everything for his own ends—even the wicked for a day of disaster.H3068H6466H4617H7563H3117H7451 5The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.H1362H3820H8441H3068H3027H3027H5352 6Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.H2617H571H5771H3722H3374H3068H5493H7451 7When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.H376H1870H7521H3068H341H7999 8Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.H2896H4592H6666H7230H8393H4941 9In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.H120H3820H2803H1870H3068H3559H6806 10The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth should not betray justice.H7081H8193H4428H6310H4603H4941 11Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are of his making.H4941H6425H3976H3068H68H3599H4639 12Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.H8441H4428H6213H7562H3678H3559H6666 13Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth.H6664H8193H7522H4428H157H1696H3477 14A king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it.H2534H4428H4397H4194H2450H376H3722 15When a king's face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.H216H4428H6440H2416H7522H5645H4456 16How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!H2896H7069H2451H2742H7069H998H977H3701 17The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life.H4546H3477H5493H7451H5341H1870H8104H5315 18Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.H1347H6440H7667H1363H7307H6440H3783 19Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.H2896H8217H7307H6035H6041H2505H7998H1343 20Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.H1697H7919H4672H2896H982H3068H835 21The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant words promote instruction.H2450H3820H7121H995H4986H8193H3254H3948 22Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools.H7922H4726H2416H1167H4148H191H200 23A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.H3820H2450H7919H6310H3254H3948H8193 24Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.H5278H561H6688H1706H4966H5315H4832H6106 25There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.H3426H1870H3477H6440H376H319H1870H4194 26The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on.H5315H6001H5998H6310H404 27A scoundrel plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.H1100H376H3738H7451H8193H6867H784 28A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.H8419H376H7971H4066H5372H6504H441 29A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good.H2555H376H6601H7453H3212H1870H2896 30He who winks with his eye is plotting perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil.H6095H5869H2803H8419H7169H8193H3615H7451H3615 31Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life.H7872H5850H8597H4672H1870H6666 32Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.H750H639H2896H1368H4910H7307H3920H5892 33The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.H1486H2904H2436H4941H3068
