So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;

For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;

My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:

Let not kindness and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:

And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;

Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;

In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.

A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.

Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Bind them upon thy fingers; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart.

And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.

Let not thy heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths.

O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.

The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall.

The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.

They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah; But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom; But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; But to the counsellors of peace is joy.

A prudent man concealeth knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard.

The heart knoweth its own bitterness; And a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of mirth is heaviness.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man'shall be satisfied from himself.

A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; But envy is the rottenness of the bones.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the inward part of fools is made known.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.

The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.

All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; And good tidings make the bones fat.

The plans of the heart belong to man; But the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah: Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

A man's heart deviseth his way; But Jehovah directeth his steps.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent; And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.

He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honor goeth humility.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

The foolishness of man subverteth his way; And his heart fretteth against Jehovah.

Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; nd set not thy heart on his destruction.

There are many devices in a man's heart; But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will.

A high look, and a proud heart, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.

He that loveth pureness of heart, For the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thy heart unto my knowledge.

For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.

Apply thy heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.

My son, if thy heart be wise, My heart will be glad, even mine:

Yea, my heart will rejoice, When thy lips speak right things.

Let not thy heart envy sinners; But be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day long:

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And guide thy heart in the way.

My son, give me thy heart; And let thine eyes delight in my ways.

Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart shall utter perverse things.

They have stricken me,'shalt thou say , and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

For their heart studieth oppression, And their lips talk of mischief.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;

As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable.

As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon soda, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.

Fervent lips and a wicked heart Are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.

When he speaketh fair, believe him not; For there are seven abominations in his heart:

Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel.

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him that reproacheth me.

As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man.

Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain.
