Many men claim to be men of unfailing love,but who can find a faithful man? +

A righteous man walks in integrity.Blessed are his children after him. +
8 
A king who sits on the throne of judgmentscatters away all evil with his eyes. +

Who can say, "I have made my heart pure.I am clean and without sin?" +

Differing weights and differing measures,both of them alike are an abomination to The LORD. +

Even a child makes himself known by his doings,whether his work is pure, and whether it is right. +

The hearing ear, and the seeing eye,The LORD has made even both of them. +

15 
There is gold and abundance of rubies;but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel. +
16 
Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger;and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman. +
17 
Fraudulent food is sweet to a man,but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel. +

Plans are established by advice;by wise guidance you wage war! +

An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning,won't be blessed in the end. +

23 
The LORD detests differing weights,and dishonest scales are not pleasing. +
24 
A man's steps are from The LORD;how then can man understand his way? +
25 
It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication,then later to consider his vows. +
26 
A wise king winnows out the wicked,and drives the threshingwheel over them. +
27 
The spirit of man is The LORD's lamp,searching all his innermost parts. +
28 
Love and faithfulness keep the king safe.His throne is sustained by love. +
29 
The glory of young men is their strength.The splendor of old men is their gray hair. +
30 
Wounding blows cleanse away evil,and beatings purge the innermost parts. +
