- The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.
- All a man's ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.
- To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
- Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin!
- The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

- The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.
- Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.
- To do righteousness and justice Is desired by the LORD more than sacrifice.
- Haughty eyes and a proud heart, The lamp of the wicked, is sin.
- The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.

- A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.
- The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right.
- The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
- Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
|
- The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.
- The violence of the wicked will drag them away, Because they refuse to act with justice.
- The way of a guilty man is crooked, But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.
- It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
