1 The king H4428 NMS \'s heart H3820 is in the hand H3027 B-CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , as the rivers H6388 CMP of water H4325 OMD : he turneth H5186 it whithersoever H3605 NMS he will H2654 VQY3MS .
2 Every H3605 CMS way H1870 NMS of a man H376 NMS is right H3477 AMS in his own eyes H5869 B-CMD-3MS : but the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS pondereth H8505 the hearts H3826 .
3 To do H6213 justice H6666 NFS and judgment H4941 W-NMS is more acceptable H977 to the LORD H3068 L-EDS than sacrifice H2077 .
4 A high H7312 look H5869 NMD , and a proud H7342 heart H3820 NMS , and the plowing H5215 of the wicked H7563 AMP , is sin H2403 .
5 The thoughts H4284 CFP of the diligent H2742 NMS tend only H389 ADV to plenteousness H4195 ; but of every one H3605 W-CMS that is hasty H213 only H389 ADV to want H4270 .
6 The getting H6467 of treasures H214 by a lying H8267 NMS tongue H3956 is a vanity H1892 NMS tossed to and fro H5086 VNPMS of them that seek H1245 death H4194 NMS .
7 The robbery H7701 of the wicked H7563 AMP shall destroy H1641 them ; because H3588 CONJ they refuse H3985 to do H6213 L-VQFC judgment H4941 NMS .
8 The way H1870 NMS of man H376 NMS is froward H2019 and strange H2054 : but as for the pure H2134 , his work H6467 is right H3477 AMS .
9 It is better H2896 AMS to dwell H3427 L-VQFC in H5921 PREP a corner H6438 of the housetop H1406 , than with a brawling H4079 woman H802 in a wide H2267 house H1004 W-NMS .
10 The soul H5315 GFS of the wicked H7563 AMS desireth H183 VPQ3FS evil H7451 AMS : his neighbor H7453 CMS-3MS findeth no H3808 NADV favor H2603 in his eyes H5869 B-CMD-3MS .
11 When the scorner H3887 is punished H6064 , the simple H6612 is made wise H2449 : and when the wise H2450 is instructed H7919 , he receiveth H3947 knowledge H1847 .
12 The righteous H6662 AMS man wisely considereth H7919 the house H1004 of the wicked H7563 AMP : but God overthroweth H5557 the wicked H7563 AMP for their wickedness H7451 .
13 Whoso stoppeth H331 his ears H241 at the cry H2201 of the poor H1800 CMS , he also H1571 CONJ shall cry H7121 VQY3MS himself H1931 PPRO-3MS , but shall not H3808 W-NPAR be heard H6030 .
14 A gift H4976 in secret H5643 BD-NMS pacifieth H3711 anger H639 NMS : and a reward H7810 in the bosom H2436 strong H5794 wrath H2534 NFS .
15 It is joy H8057 to the just H6662 to do H6213 VQFC judgment H4941 NMS : but destruction H4288 shall be to the workers H6466 L-VQCMP of iniquity H205 NMS .
16 The man H120 NMS that wandereth H8582 out of the way H1870 of understanding H7919 VHFA shall remain H5117 in the congregation H6951 of the dead H7496 .
17 He that loveth H157 pleasure H8057 shall be a poor H4270 man H376 NMS : he that loveth H157 wine H3196 and oil H8081 shall not H3808 NADV be rich H6238 .
18 The wicked H7563 AMS shall be a ransom H3724 NMS for the righteous H6662 , and the transgressor H898 for H8478 the upright H3477 AMP .
19 It is better H2896 AMS to dwell H3427 in the wilderness H776 B-GFS , than with a contentious H4079 and an angry H3708 woman H802 .
20 There is treasure H214 to be desired H2530 VNPMS and oil H8081 in the dwelling H5116 of the wise H2450 AMS ; but a foolish H3684 man H120 NMS spendeth it up H1104 .
21 He that followeth H7291 after righteousness H6666 NFS and mercy H2617 findeth H4672 VQY3MS life H2416 NMP , righteousness H6666 NFS , and honor H3519 .
22 A wise H2450 AMS man scaleth H5927 the city H5892 GFS of the mighty H1368 , and casteth down H3381 the strength H5797 NMS of the confidence H4009 thereof .
23 Whoso keepeth H8104 his mouth H6310 and his tongue H3956 keepeth H8104 his soul H5315 CFS-3MS from troubles H6869 .
24 Proud H2086 and haughty H3093 scorner H3887 is his name H8034 CMS-3MS , who dealeth H6213 in proud H2087 wrath H5678 .
25 The desire H8378 of the slothful H6102 killeth H4191 him ; for H3588 CONJ his hands H3027 CFD-3MS refuse H3985 to labor H6213 .
26 He coveteth H183 greedily H8378 all H3605 NMS the day H3117 D-AMS long : but the righteous H6662 W-AMS giveth H5414 VHFA and spareth H2820 VQY3MS not H3808 W-NPAR .
27 The sacrifice H2077 NMS of the wicked H7563 AMP is abomination H8441 : how much more H637 CONJ , when he bringeth H935 it with a wicked mind H2154 ?
28 A false H3577 witness H5707 shall perish H6 VQY3MS : but the man H376 W-NMS that heareth H8085 speaketh H1696 constantly H5331 L-NMS .
29 A wicked H7563 AMS man H376 NMS hardeneth H5810 his face H6440 : but as for the upright H3477 W-AMS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS directeth H995 his way H1870 .
30 There is no H369 NPAR wisdom H2451 NFS nor H369 W-NPAR understanding H8394 NFS nor H369 W-NPAR counsel H6098 NFS against H5048 L-PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
31 The horse H5483 is prepared H3559 against the day H3117 L-NMS of battle H4421 NFS : but safety H8668 is of the LORD H3068 .
