7 When a man's ways please the LORD, ¹he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 ²Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.

9 ³The heart of man plans his way, but ⁴the LORD establishes his steps.

10 ⁵An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.

11 ⁶A just balance and scales are the LORD's; all the weights in the bag are his work.

12 It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for ⁷the throne is established by righteousness.

13 ⁸Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ⁹A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ¹⁰appease it.

15 ¹¹In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ¹²favor is like ¹³the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ¹⁴How much better to get wisdom than ¹⁵gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ¹⁶silver.

17 The highway of the upright ¹⁷turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ¹⁸Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ¹⁹It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ²⁰divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a²¹will discover good, and blessed is he ²²who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ²³increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ²⁴a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ²⁵The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ²⁶Gracious words are like ²⁷a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ²⁸health 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 ²⁹mouth urges him on.

27 ³⁰A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ³¹a scorching fire.

28 ³²A dishonest man spreads strife, and ³³a whisperer ³⁴separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ³⁵entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d³⁶dishonest things; he who ³⁷purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 ³⁸Gray hair is ³⁹a crown of glory; it ⁴⁰is gained in a righteous life.

32 ⁴¹Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ⁴²The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ⁴³from the LORD.
