Do justice and judgment—Follow after righteousness and mercy—Safety is of the Lord.

 THE ^aking’s^• heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

 Every way of a man is right in his ^aown^• eyes: but the LORD ^bpondereth^• the ^chearts^•.

 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than ^asacrifice^•.

 ^aAn^• high look, and a ^bproud^• heart, and ^cthe^• plowing of the wicked, is sin.

 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is ^ahasty only to want.

 The getting of ^atreasures by a lying tongue is a ^bvanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

 ^aThe^• way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, ^athan^• with a brawling ^bwoman^• in a ^cwide^• house.

 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his ^aneighbour^• findeth no favour in his eyes.

 When the ^ascorner^• is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the ^awicked^•: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the ^apoor^•, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

 A gift in secret pacifieth ^aanger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of ^ainiquity.

 The man that ^awandereth^• out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

 He that loveth ^apleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be ^brich.

 The wicked shall be a ^aransom^• for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

 It is better to ^adwell^• in the wilderness, than with a ^bcontentious^• and an angry woman.

 There is ^atreasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man ^bspendeth it up.

 He that followeth after ^arighteousness^• and mercy findeth ^blife^•, righteousness, and honour.

 A ^awise^• man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

 Whoso keepeth his ^amouth^• and his ^btongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

 The desire of the ^aslothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to ^blabour.

 He ^acoveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous ^bgiveth^• and spareth not.

 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

 A wicked man ^ahardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

 There is no wisdom nor ^aunderstanding nor counsel against the LORD.

 The ^ahorse^• is prepared against the day of battle: but ^bsafety^• is of the LORD.
