streams, and by him it is turned in any direction at his pleasure. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Every way of a man seems right to himself, but the Lord is the tester of hearts. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> To do what is right and true is more pleasing to the Lord than an offering. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> A high look and a heart of pride, *** of the evil-doer is sin. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> The purposes of the man of industry have their outcome only in wealth; but one who is over-quick in acting will only come to be in need. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> He who gets stores of wealth by a false tongue, is going after what is only breath, and searching for death. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> By their violent acts the evil-doers will be pulled away, because they have no desire to do what is right. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Twisted is the way of him who is full of crime; but as for him whose heart is clean, his work is upright. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> The desire of the evil-doer is fixed on evil: he has no kind feeling for his neighbour. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> When the man of pride undergoes punishment, the simple man gets wisdom; and by watching the wise he gets knowledge. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> The Upright One, looking on the house of the evil-doer, lets sinners be overturned to their destruction. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> By a secret offering wrath is turned away, and the heat of angry feelings by money in the folds of the robe. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> It is a joy to the good man to do right, but it is destruction to the workers of evil. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> The wanderer from the way of knowledge will have his resting-place among the shades. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> The lover of pleasure will be a poor man: the lover of wine and oil will not get wealth. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> It is better to be living in a waste land, than with a bitter-tongued and angry woman. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> There is a store of great value in the house of the wise, but it is wasted by the foolish man. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> He who goes after righteousness and mercy will get life, righteousness, and honour. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> He who keeps watch over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> The desire of the hater of work is death to him, for his hands will do no work. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> All the day the sinner goes after his desire: but the upright man gives freely, keeping nothing back. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> The offering of evil-doers is disgusting: how much more when they give it with an evil purpose! <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> A false witness will be cut off, &#8230; <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> Wisdom and knowledge and wise suggestions are of no use against the Lord. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> The horse is made ready for the day of war, but power to overcome is from the Lord. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client =
