3Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,
4All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked worketh for a day of evil.
5An abomination to Jehovah is every proud one of heart, Hand to hand he is not acquitted.
6In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.
7When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.
8Better is a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.
9The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.
10An oath is on the lips of a king, In judgment his mouth trespasseth not.
11A just beam and balances are Jehovah's, His work are all the stones of the bag.
12An abomination to kings is doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.
13The delight of kings are righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,
14The fury of a king is messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.
15In the light of a king's face is life, And his good-will is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16To get wisdom — how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
17A highway of the upright is, 'Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
18Before destruction is pride, And before stumbling — a haughty spirit.'
19Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
20The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.
21To the wise in heart is called, 'Intelligent,' And sweetness of lips increaseth learning.
22A fountain of life is understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.
23The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,
