1The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.¶ 2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; 3Commit your deeds to the LORD, 4The LORD has made everything for its own end- 5Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: 6By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. 7When a man's ways please the LORD, 8Better is a little with righteousness, 9A man's heart plans his course, 10Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. 11Honest balances and scales are the LORD's; 12It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, 13Righteous lips are the delight of kings. 14The king's wrath is a messenger of death, 15In the light of the king's face is life. 16How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! 17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. 18Pride goes before destruction, 19It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, 20He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. 21The wise in heart shall be called prudent. 22Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, 23The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, 24Pleasant words are a honeycomb, 25There is a way which seems right to a man, 26The appetite of the laboring man labors for him; 27A worthless man devises mischief. 28A perverse man stirs up strife. 29A man of violence entices his neighbor, 30One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, 31Gray hair is a crown of glory. 32One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; 33The lot is cast into the lap,
