On Life and Conduct
1 The king’s H4428 heart H3820 is like channels H6388 of water H4325 in the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068;
He turns H5186 it wherever H5921 H3605 H834 He pleases H2654.
2 Every H3605 person’s H376 way H1870 is right H3477 in his own eyes H5869,
But the LORD H3068 examines H8505 the hearts H3820.
3 To do H6213 righteousness H6666 and justice H4941
Is preferred H977 by the LORD H3068 more H4480 than H4480 sacrifice H2077.
4 Haughty H7312 eyes H5869 and a proud H7342 heart H3820,
The lamp H5215 of the wicked H7563, is sin H2403.
5 The plans H4284 of the diligent H2742 certainly H389 lead to advantage H4195,
But everyone H3605 who is H213 in H213 a H213 hurry H213 certainly H389 comes to poverty H4270.
6 The acquisition H6466 of treasures H214 by a lying H8267 tongue H3956
Is a fleeting H5086 vapor H1892, the [fn]pursuit H1245 of death H4194.
7 The violence H7701 of the wicked H7563 will sweep H1641 them away H1641,
Because H3588 they refuse H3985 to act H6213 with justice H4941.
8 The way H1870 of a guilty H2054 person H376 is crooked H2019,
But as for the pure H2134, his conduct H6467 is upright H3477.
9 It is better H2896 to live H3427 on a corner H6438 of a roof H1406
Than H4480 [fn]in a house H1004 shared H2267 with a contentious H4066 woman H802.
10 The soul H5315 of the wicked H7563 desires H183 evil H7451;
His neighbor H7453 is shown H2603 no H3808 compassion H2603 in his eyes H5869.
11 When the scoffer H3887 is punished H6064, the naive H6612 becomes H2449 wise H2449;
But when the wise H2449 is instructed H7919, he receives H3947 knowledge H1847.
12 The [fn]righteous H6662 one H6662 considers H7919 the house H1004 of the wicked H7563,
Bringing H5557 the wicked H7563 to ruin H7451.
13 One who shuts H331 his ear H241 to the outcry H2201 of the poor H1800
Will also H1571 call H7121 out H7121 himself H1931, and not be answered H6030.
14 A gift H4976 in secret H5643 subdues H3711 anger H639,
And a bribe H7810 [fn]in an inside H2436 pocket H2436, strong H5794 wrath H2534.
15 The exercise H6213 of justice H4941 is joy H8057 for the righteous H6662,
But terror H4288 to those who practice H6466 injustice H205.
16 A person H120 who wanders H8582 from the way H1870 of understanding H7919
Will rest H5117 in the assembly H6951 of the [fn]dead H7496.
17 One who loves H157 pleasure H8057 will become a poor H4270 person H376;
One who loves H157 wine H3196 and oil H8081 will not become H6238 rich H6238.
18 The wicked H7563 is a ransom H3724 for the righteous H6662,
And the treacherous H898 is in H8478 the place H8478 of H8478 the upright H3477.
19 It is better H2896 to live H3427 in a desert H4057 land H776
Than H4480 with a contentious H4066 and irritating H3708 woman H802.
20 There is precious H2530 treasure H214 and oil H8081 in the home H5116 of the wise H2450,
But a foolish H3684 person H120 swallows H1104 it up H1104.
21 One who pursues H7291 righteousness H6666 and loyalty H2617
Finds H4672 life H2416, righteousness H6666, and honor H3519.
22 A wise H2450 person H2450 scales H5927 the city H5892 of the mighty H1368
And brings H3381 down H3381 the [fn]stronghold H5797 in which H4009 they trust H4009.
23 One who guards H8104 his mouth H6310 and his tongue H3956,
Guards H8104 his soul H5315 from troubles H6869.
24 “Proud H2086,” “Arrogant H3093,” “Scoffer H3887,” are his names H8034,
One who acts H6213 with insolent H2087 pride H2087.
25 The desire H8378 of the [fn]lazy H6102 one H6102 puts H4191 him to H4191 death H4191,
For his hands H3027 refuse H3985 to work H6213;
26 All H3605 day H3117 long he [fn]is craving H183,
While the righteous H6662 gives H5414 and does not hold H2820 back H2820.
27 The sacrifice H2077 of the wicked H7563 is an abomination H8441,
How H637 much H637 H3588 more H637 H3588 when H3588 he brings H935 it with evil H2154 intent H2154!
28 A false H3577 witness H5707 will perish H6,
But a person H376 who listens H8085 will speak H1696 forever H5331.
29 A wicked H7563 person H376 [fn]displays H5810 a bold H5810 face H6440,
But as for the upright H3477, he makes H3559 his way H1870 sure H3559.
30 There H369 is H369 no H369 wisdom H2451, no H369 understanding H8394,
And no H369 [fn]plan H6098 against H5048 the LORD H3068.
31 The horse H5483 is prepared H3559 for the day H3117 of battle H4421,
