The plans of the heart belong to man; Answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

 
The plans of the heart belong to man,but the answer of the tongue is from The LORD. +
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;but the LORD weighs the motives. +
Commit your deeds to The LORD,and your plans shall succeed. +
The LORD has made everything for its own end-yes, even the wicked for the day of evil. +
Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to The LORD:they shall certainly not be unpunished. +
By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for.By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. +
When a man's ways please The LORD,he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. +
Better is a little with righteousness,than great revenues with injustice. +
A man's heart plans his course,but the LORD directs his steps. +
10 
Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king.He shall not betray his mouth. +
11 
Honest balances and scales are The LORD's;all the weights in the bag are his work. +
12 
It is an abomination for kings to do wrong,for the throne is established by righteousness. +
13 
Righteous lips are the delight of kings.They value one who speaks the truth. +
14 
The king's wrath is a messenger of death,but a wise man will pacify it. +
15 
In the light of the king's face is life.His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain. +
16 
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. +
17 
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil.He who keeps his way preserves his soul. +
18 
Pride goes before destruction,and a haughty spirit before a fall. +
19 
It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor,than to divide the plunder with the proud. +
20 
He who heeds the Word finds prosperity.Whoever trusts in the LORD is blessed. +
21 
The wise in heart shall be called prudent.Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction. +
22 
Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it,but the punishment of fools is their folly. +
23 
The heart of the wise instructs his mouth,and adds learning to his lips. +
24 
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. +
25 
There is a way which seems right to a man,but in the end it leads to death. +
26 
The appetite of the laboring man labors for him;for his mouth urges him on. +
27 
A worthless man devises mischief.His speech is like a scorching fire. +
28 
A perverse man stirs up strife.A whisperer separates close friends. +
29 
A man of violence entices his neighbor,and leads him in a way that is not good. +
30 
One who winks his eyes to plot perversities,one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil. +
31 
Gray hair is a crown of glory.It is attained by a life of righteousness. +
32 
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty;one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city. +
33 
The lot is cast into the lap,but its every decision is from The LORD. +
