8 ⁵Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.

9 ⁶The heart of man plans his way, but ⁷the LORD establishes his steps.

22 Good sense is ²⁷a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ²⁸The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ²⁹Gracious words are like ³⁰a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ³¹health to the body.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.^b

26 A worker's appetite works for him; his ³²mouth urges him on.

28 ³⁵A dishonest man spreads strife, and ³⁶a whisperer ³⁷separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ³⁸entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d³⁹dishonest things; he who ⁴⁰purses his lips brings evil to pass.

32 ⁴⁴Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ⁴⁵The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ⁴⁶from the LORD.
