Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

16The plans of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.H4633H3820H120H4617H3956H3068 2All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight, But the LORD weighs the motives.H1870H376H2134H5869H3068H8505H7307 3Commit your works to the LORD, And your plans will be established.H1556H4639H3068H4284H3559 4The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, Even the wicked for the day of evil.H3068H6466H4617H7563H3117H7451 5Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.H1362H3820H8441H3068H3027H3027H5352 6By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for, And by the fear of the LORD one keeps away from evil.H2617H571H5771H3722H3374H3068H5493H7451 7When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.H376H1870H7521H3068H341H7999 8Better is a little with righteousness Than great income with injustice.H2896H4592H6666H7230H8393H4941 9The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.H120H3820H2803H1870H3068H3559H6806 10A divine decision is in the lips of the king; His mouth should not err in judgment.H7081H8193H4428H6310H4603H4941 11A just balance and scales belong to the LORD; All the weights of the bag are His concern.H4941H6425H3976H3068H68H3599H4639 12It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, For a throne is established on righteousness.H8441H4428H6213H7562H3678H3559H6666 13Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And he who speaks right is loved.H6664H8193H7522H4428H157H1696H3477 14The wrath of a king is [as] messengers of death, But a wise man will appease it.H2534H4428H4397H4194H2450H376H3722 15In the light of a king's face is life, And his favor is like a cloud with the spring rain.H216H4428H6440H2416H7522H5645H4456 16How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.H2896H7069H2451H2742H7069H998H977H3701 17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who watches his way preserves his life.H4546H3477H5493H7451H5341H1870H8104H5315 18Pride [goes] before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.H1347H6440H7667H1363H7307H6440H3783 19It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.H2896H8217H7307H6035H6041H2505H7998H1343 20He who gives attention to the word shall find good, And blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.H1697H7919H4672H2896H982H3068H835 21The wise in heart will be called discerning, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.H2450H3820H7121H995H4986H8193H3254H3948 22Understanding is a fountain of life to him who has it, But the discipline of fools is folly.H7922H4726H2416H1167H4148H191H200 23The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, And adds persuasiveness to his lips.H3820H2450H7919H6310H3254H3948H8193 24Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.H5278H561H6688H1706H4966H5315H4832H6106 25There is a way [which seems] right to a man, But its end is the way of death.H3426H1870H3477H6440H376H319H1870H4194 26A worker's appetite works for him, For his hunger urges him [on.]H5315H6001H5998H6310H404 27A worthless man digs up evil, While his words are as a scorching fire.H1100H376H3738H7451H8193H6867H784 28A perverse man spreads strife, And a slanderer separates intimate friends.H8419H376H7971H4066H5372H6504H441 29A man of violence entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good.H2555H376H6601H7453H3212H1870H2896 30He who winks his eyes [does so] to devise perverse things; He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.H6095H5869H2803H8419H7169H8193H3615H7451H3615 31A gray head is a crown of glory; 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 captures a city.H750H639H2896H1368H4910H7307H3920H5892 33The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.H1486H2904H2436H4941H3068
