1
We can gather our thoughts, but the LORD gives the right answer.
2
People may be pure in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their motives.
3
Commit your work to the LORD, and then your plans will succeed.
4
The LORD has made everything for his own purposes, even the wicked for punishment.
5
The LORD despises pride; be assured that the proud will be punished.
6
Unfailing love and faithfulness cover sin; evil is avoided by fear of the LORD.
7
When the ways of people please the LORD, he makes even their enemies live at peace with them.
8
It is better to be poor and godly than rich and dishonest.
9
We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.
10
The king speaks with divine wisdom; he must never judge unfairly.
11
The LORD demands fairness in every business deal; he sets the standard.
12
A king despises wrongdoing, for his rule depends on his justice.
13
The king is pleased with righteous lips; he loves those who speak honestly.
14
The anger of the king is a deadly threat; the wise do what they can to appease it.
15
When the king smiles, there is life; his favor refreshes like a gentle rain.
16
How much better to get wisdom than gold, and understanding than silver!
17
The path of the upright leads away from evil; whoever follows that path is safe.
18
Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.
19
It is better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud.
20
Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the LORD will be happy.
21
The wise are known for their understanding, and instruction is appreciated if it's well presented.
22
Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it, but discipline is wasted on fools.
23
From a wise mind comes wise speech; the words of the wise are persuasive.
24
Kind words are like honey--sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
25
There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.
26
It is good for workers to have an appetite; an empty stomach drives them on.
27
Scoundrels hunt for scandal; their words are a destructive blaze.
28
A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends.
29
Violent people deceive their companions, leading them down a harmful path.
30
With narrowed eyes, they plot evil; without a word, they plan their mischief.
31
Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by living a godly life.
32
It is better to be patient than powerful; it is better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
33
We may throw the dice, but the LORD determines how they fall.
