He turneth it whithersoever he will. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> A high look, and a proud heart, `Even&#8217; the lamp of the wicked, is sin. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> The thoughts of the diligent `tend&#8217; only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty `hasteth&#8217; only to want. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, `How&#8217; the wicked are overthrown to `their&#8217; ruin. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous `cometh&#8217; in the stead of the upright. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> He that followeth after righteousness and kindness Findeth life, righteousness, and honor. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind! <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> A wicked man hardeneth his face; But as for the upright, he establisheth his ways. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Jehovah. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n
