1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but ¹the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

2 ²All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD ³ weighs the spirit.

3 ⁴Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.

4 ⁵The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even ⁶the wicked for the day of trouble.

5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is ⁷an abomination to the LORD; ⁸be assured, he will not go unpunished.

6 By ⁹steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by ¹⁰the fear of the LORD one ¹¹turns away from evil.

7 When a man's ways please the LORD, ¹²he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 ¹³Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.

9 ¹⁴The heart of man plans his way, but ¹⁵the LORD establishes his steps.

10 ¹⁶An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.

11 ¹⁷A 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 ¹⁸the throne is established by righteousness.

13 ¹⁹Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ²⁰A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ²¹appease it.

15 ²²In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ²³favor is like ²⁴the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ²⁵How much better to get wisdom than ²⁶gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ²⁷silver.

17 The highway of the upright ²⁸turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ²⁹Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
