The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, like as are the rivers of water; he may turn it whithersoever he will.

A wise man winneth the city of the mighty; and as for the strength that they trust in, he bringeth it down.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue; the same keepeth his soul from troubles.

The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but the LORD giveth the victory.

He that is proud and presumptuous, is called a scornful man, which in wrath dare work maliciously.

The voluptuousness of the slothful is his own death, for his hands will not labour.

He coveteth and desireth all the day long; but the righteous is always giving and keepeth nothing back.

It is better to dwell in a corner under the housetop; than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

The sacrifice of the ungodly is abomination, for they offer the thing that is gotten with wickedness.

There is no wisdom, there is no understanding, there is no counsel against the LORD.

A false witness shall perish; but he that will be content to hear, shall always have power to speak himself.

The devices of one that is diligent, bring plenteousness; but he that is unadvised, cometh to poverty.

Every man thinketh his own way to be right; but the LORD judgeth the hearts.

Whoso stoppeth his ear at the crying of the poor; he shall cry himself and not be heard.

Whoso followeth righteousness and mercy, findeth both life, righteousness and honour.

In a wise man's house there is great treasure and plenteousness; but a foolish body spendeth up all.

It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a chiding and an angry woman.

An ungodly man goeth forth rashly; but the just reformeth his own way.

To do righteousness and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

He that hath pleasure in banquets, shall be a poor man; Whoso delighteth in wine and delicates, shall not be rich.

Whoso hordeth up riches with the deceitfulness of his tongue: he is a fool, and like unto them that seek their own death.

A presumptuous look, a proud stomach, and the plowing of the ungodly is sin.

The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom, shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

The just delighteth in doing the thing that is right, but the workers of wickedness abhor the same.

A privy reward pacifieth displeasure; and a gift in the bosom stilleth furiousness.

The ungodly shall be given for the righteous; and the wicked for the just.

When the scornful is punished, the ignorant take the better heed; and when a wise man is warned, he will receive the more understanding.

The ways of the froward are strange; but the works of him that is clean, are right.

The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked; and for their wickedness, God overthroweth the ungodly.

The soul of the ungodly wisheth evil; and hath no pity upon his neighbour.

The robberies of the ungodly shall be their own destruction; for they would not do the thing that was right.
