New Revised Standard Version Help
16The plans of the mind belong to mortals, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.H4633H3820H120H4617H3956H3068 2All one's ways may be pure in one's own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit.H1870H376H2134H5869H3068H8505H7307 3Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.H1556H4639H3068H4284H3559 4The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.H3068H6466H4617H7563H3117H7451 5All those who are arrogant are an abomination to the LORD; be assured, they will not go unpunished.H1362H3820H8441H3068H3027H3027H5352 6By loyalty and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one avoids evil.H2617H571H5771H3722H3374H3068H5493H7451 7When the ways of people please the LORD, he causes even their enemies to be at peace with them.H376H1870H7521H3068H341H7999 8Better is a little with righteousness than large income with injustice.H2896H4592H6666H7230H8393H4941 9The human mind plans the way, but the LORD directs the steps.H120H3820H2803H1870H3068H3559H6806 10Inspired decisions are on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.H7081H8193H4428H6310H4603H4941 11Honest balances and scales are the LORD's; all the weights in the bag are his work.H4941H6425H3976H3068H68H3599H4639 12It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness.H8441H4428H6213H7562H3678H3559H6666 13Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves those who speak what is right.H6664H8193H7522H4428H157H1696H3477 14A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and whoever is wise will appease it.H2534H4428H4397H4194H2450H376H3722 15In the light of a king's face there is life, and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.H216H4428H6440H2416H7522H5645H4456 16How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.H2896H7069H2451H2742H7069H998H977H3701 17The highway of the upright avoids evil; those who guard their way preserve their lives.H4546H3477H5493H7451H5341H1870H8104H5315 18Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.H1347H6440H7667H1363H7307H6440H3783 19It is better to be of a lowly spirit among the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.H2896H8217H7307H6035H6041H2505H7998H1343 20Those who are attentive to a matter will prosper, and happy are those who trust in the LORD.H1697H7919H4672H2896H982H3068H835 21The wise of heart is called perceptive, and pleasant speech increases persuasiveness.H2450H3820H7121H995H4986H8193H3254H3948 22Wisdom is a fountain of life to one who has it, but folly is the punishment of fools.H7922H4726H2416H1167H4148H191H200 23The mind of the wise makes their speech judicious, and adds persuasiveness to their lips.H3820H2450H7919H6310H3254H3948H8193 24Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.H5278H561H6688H1706H4966H5315H4832H6106 25Sometimes there is a way that seems to be right, but in the end it is the way to death.H3426H1870H3477H6440H376H319H1870H4194 26The appetite of workers works for them; their hunger urges them on.H5315H6001H5998H6310H404 27Scoundrels concoct evil, and their speech is like a scorching fire.H1100H376H3738H7451H8193H6867H784 28A perverse person spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.H8419H376H7971H4066H5372H6504H441 29The violent entice their neighbors, and lead them in a way that is not good.H2555H376H6601H7453H3212H1870H2896 30One who winks the eyes plans perverse things; one who compresses the lips brings evil to pass.H6095H5869H2803H8419H7169H8193H3615H7451H3615 31Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.H7872H5850H8597H4672H1870H6666 32One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city.H750H639H2896H1368H4910H7307H3920H5892 33The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is the LORD's alone.H1486H2904H2436H4941H3068
