Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
1 The plans H4633 of the heart H3820 belong to a person H120,
But the answer H4617 of the tongue H3956 is from the LORD H3068.
2 All H3605 the ways H1870 of a person H376 are clean H2134 in his own sight H5869,
But the LORD H3068 examines H8505 the [fn]motives H7307.
3 [fn]Commit H1556 your works H4639 to the LORD H3068,
And your plans H4284 will be established H3559.
4 The LORD H3068 has made H6466 everything H3605 for [fn]its own purpose H4617,
Even H1571 the wicked H7563 for the day H3117 of evil H7451.
5 Everyone H3605 who is proud H1364 in heart H3820 is an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068;
[fn]Be assured H3027, he will not go H5352 unpunished H5352.
6 By mercy H2617 and truth H571 atonement H3722 is made H3722 for wrongdoing H5771,
And by [fn]the fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 one keeps H5493 away H5493 from evil H7451.
7 When a person’s H376 ways H1870 are H7521 pleasing H7521 to the LORD H3068,
He causes even H1571 his enemies H340 to make H7999 peace H7999 with him.
8 Better H2896 is a little H4592 with righteousness H6666
Than H4480 great H7230 income H8393 with injustice H3808 H4941.
9 The mind H3820 of a person H120 plans H2803 his way H1870,
But the LORD H3068 directs H3559 his steps H6806.
10 A divine H7081 verdict H7081 is on the lips H8193 of the king H4428;
His mouth H6310 should not [fn]err H4603 in judgment H4941.
11 A just H4941 balance H6425 and scales H3976 belong to the LORD H3068;
All H3605 the [fn]weights H68 of the bag H3599 are His [fn]concern H4639.
12 It is an abomination H8441 for kings H4428 to commit H6213 wicked H7562 acts H7562,
Because H3588 a throne H3678 is established H3559 on righteousness H6666.
13 Righteous H6664 lips H8193 are the delight H7522 of kings H4428,
And one who speaks H1696 right H3477 is loved H157.
14 The fury H2534 of a king H4428 is like messengers H4397 of death H4194;
But a wise H2450 person H376 will appease H3722 it.
15 In the light H216 of a king’s H4428 face H6440 is life H2416,
And his favor H7522 is like a cloud H5645 with the [fn]spring H4456 rain H4456.
16 How H4100 much better H2896 it is to get H7069 wisdom H2451 than H4480 gold H2742!
And to get H7069 understanding H998 is to be chosen H977 above H4480 silver H3701.
17 The highway H4546 of the upright H3477 is to turn H5493 away H5493 from evil H7451;
One who watches H5341 his way H1870 protects H8104 his [fn]life H5315.
18 Pride H1347 goes before H6440 destruction H7667,
And a haughty H1363 spirit H7307 before H6440 stumbling H3783.
19 It is better H2896 to be humble H8217 in spirit H7307 with the needy H6041
Than H4480 to divide H2505 the spoils H7998 with the proud H1343.
20 One who pays H7919 attention H7919 to the word H1697 will find H4672 good H2896,
And blessed H835 is one who trusts H982 in the LORD H3068.
21 The wise H2450 in heart H3820 will be called H7121 understanding H995,
And sweetness H4986 of [fn]speech H8193 increases H3254 [fn]persuasiveness H3948.
22 Understanding H7922 is a fountain H4726 of life H2416 to those H1167 who H1167 have H1167 it,
But the discipline H4148 of fools H191 is foolishness H200.
23 The heart H3820 of the wise H2450 instructs H7919 his mouth H6310
And adds H3254 [fn]persuasiveness H3948 to his lips H8193.
24 Pleasant H5278 words H561 are a honeycomb H1706 H6688,
Sweet H4966 to the soul H5315 and healing H4832 to the bones H6106.
25 There H3426 is H3426 a way H1870 which seems right H3477 to a person H376,
But its end H319 is the way H1870 of death H4194.
26 A worker’s H6001 appetite H5315 works H5998 for him,
For his [fn]hunger H6310 urges H404 him on.
27 A worthless H1100 person H376 digs H3738 up H3738 evil H7451,
While H5921 [fn]his words H8193 are like scorching H6866 fire H784.
28 A perverse H8419 person H376 spreads H7971 strife H4066,
And a [fn]slanderer H7279 separates H6504 close H441 friends H441.
29 A person H376 of violence H2555 entices H6601 his neighbor H7453
And leads H1980 him in a way H1870 that is not good H2896.
30 He who winks H6095 his eyes H5869 does so to devise H2803 perverse H8419 things H8419;
He who compresses H7169 his lips H8193 brings H3615 evil H7451 to H3615 pass H3615.
31 A gray H7872 head H7872 is a crown H5850 of glory H8597;
It is found H4672 in the way H1870 of righteousness H6666.
32 One who is slow H750 to anger H639 is better H2896 than H4480 the mighty H1368,
And one who rules H4910 his spirit H7307, than H4480 one who captures H3920 a city H5892.
