Wisdom Is Better Than Gold

16The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.H4633H3820H120H4617H3956H3068 2All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits.H1870H376H2134H5869H3068H8505H7307 3Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.H1556H4639H3068H4284H3559 4The LORD has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom.H3068H6466H4617H7563H3117H7451 5Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.H1362H3820H8441H3068H3027H3027H5352 6In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil.H2617H571H5771H3722H3374H3068H5493H7451 7When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.H376H1870H7521H3068H341H7999 8Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice.H2896H4592H6666H7230H8393H4941 9A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.H120H3820H2803H1870H3068H3559H6806 10Divination is on the lips of the king; His mouth must not transgress in judgment.H7081H8193H4428H6310H4603H4941 11Honest weights and scales are the LORD'S; All the weights in the bag are His work.H4941H6425H3976H3068H68H3599H4639 12It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, For a throne is established by righteousness.H8441H4428H6213H7562H3678H3559H6666 13Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right.H6664H8193H7522H4428H157H1696H3477 14As messengers of death is the king's wrath, But a wise man will appease it.H2534H4428H4397H4194H2450H376H3722 15In the light of the king's face is life, And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.H216H4428H6440H2416H7522H5645H4456 16How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.H2896H7069H2451H2742H7069H998H977H3701 17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul.H4546H3477H5493H7451H5341H1870H8104H5315 18Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.H1347H6440H7667H1363H7307H6440H3783 19Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.H2896H8217H7307H6035H6041H2505H7998H1343 20He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.H1697H7919H4672H2896H982H3068H835 21The wise in heart will be called prudent, And sweetness of the lips increases learning.H2450H3820H7121H995H4986H8193H3254H3948 22Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it. But the correction of fools is folly.H7922H4726H2416H1167H4148H191H200 23The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, And adds learning to his lips.H3820H2450H7919H6310H3254H3948H8193 24Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.H5278H561H6688H1706H4966H5315H4832H6106 25There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.H3426H1870H3477H6440H376H319H1870H4194 26The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on.H5315H6001H5998H6310H404 27An ungodly man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire.H1100H376H3738H7451H8193H6867H784 28A perverse man sows strife, And a whisperer separates the best of friends.H8419H376H7971H4066H5372H6504H441 29A violent man entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good.H2555H376H6601H7453H3212H1870H2896 30He winks his eye to devise perverse things; He purses his lips and brings about evil.H6095H5869H2803H8419H7169H8193H3615H7451H3615 31The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness.H7872H5850H8597H4672H1870H6666 32He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.H750H639H2896H1368H4910H7307H3920H5892 33The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.H1486H2904H2436H4941H3068
