World English Bible Classic
[1] The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.
[2] All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes,
but Yahweh weighs the motives.
[3] Commit your deeds to Yahweh,
and your plans shall succeed.
[4] Yahweh has made everything for its own end—
yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
[5] Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh;
they shall certainly not be unpunished.
[6] By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for.
By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
[7] When a man’s ways please Yahweh,
he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
[8] Better is a little with righteousness,
than great revenues with injustice.
[9] A man’s heart plans his course,
but Yahweh 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 Yahweh’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 an arrogant 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh.
but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

King James Version
[1] The preparations H4633§ of the heart H3820 in man, H120
And the answer H4617 of the tongue, H3956 is from the Lord. H3068
[2] All H3605 the ways H1870 of a man H376 are clean H2134 in his own eyes; H5869
But the Lord H3068 weigheth H8505 the spirits. H7307
[3] Commit H1556§ thy works H4639 unto H413 the Lord, H3068
And thy thoughts H4284 shall be established. H3559
[4] The Lord H3068 hath made H6466 all things for himself: H4617
Yea, even the wicked H7563 for the day H3117 of evil. H7451
[5] Every one that is proud H1362 in heart H3820 is an abomination H8441 to the Lord: H3068
Though hand H3027 join in hand, H3027 he shall H5352 not H3808 be unpunished. H5352§
[6] By mercy H2617 and truth H571 iniquity H5771 is purged: H3722
And by the fear H3374 of the Lord H3068 men depart H5493 from evil. H7451
[7] When a man’s H376 ways H1870 please H7521 the Lord, H3068
He maketh even his enemies H341 to be at peace H7999 with him.
[8] Better H2896 is a little H4592 with righteousness H6666
Than great H7230 revenues H8393 without right. H4941
[9] A man’s H120 heart H3820 deviseth H2803 his way: H1870
But the Lord H3068 directeth H3559 his steps. H6806
[10] A divine§ sentence H7081 is in the lips H8193 of the king: H4428
His mouth H6310 transgresseth H4603 not H3808 in judgment. H4941
[11] A just H4941 weight H6425 and balance H3976 are the Lord’s: H3068
All H3605 the weights H68§ of the bag H3599 are his work. H4639
[12] It is an abomination H8441 to kings H4428 to commit H6213 wickedness: H7562
For H3588 the throne H3678 is established H3559 by righteousness. H6666
[13] Righteous H6664 lips H8193 are the delight H7522 of kings; H4428
And they love H157 him that speaketh H1696 right. H3477
[14] The wrath H2534 of a king H4428 is as messengers H4397 of death: H4194
But a wise H2450 man H376 will pacify H3722 it.
[15] In the light H216 of the king’s H4428 countenance H6440 is life; H2416
And his favour H7522 is as a cloud H5645 of the latter rain. H4456
[16] How much better H2896 is it to get H7069 wisdom H2451 than gold! H2742
And to get H7069 understanding H998 rather to be chosen H977 than silver! H3701
[17] The highway H4546 of the upright H3477 is to depart H5493 from evil: H7451
He that keepeth H5341 his way H1870 preserveth H8104 his soul. H5315
[18] Pride H1347 goeth before H6440 destruction, H7667
And an haughty H1363 spirit H7307 before H6440 a fall. H3783
[19] Better H2896 it is to be of an humble H8217 spirit H7307 with H854 the lowly, H6035
H6041 Than to divide H2505 the spoil H7998 with H854 the proud. H1343
[20] He that handleth a matter H1697§ wisely H7919 shall find H4672 good: H2896
And whoso trusteth H982 in the Lord, H3068 happy H835 is he.
[21] The wise H2450 in heart H3820 shall be called H7121 prudent: H995
And the sweetness H4986 of the lips H8193 increaseth H3254 learning. H3948
[22] Understanding H7922 is a wellspring H4726 of life H2416 unto him that hath H1167 it:
But the instruction H4148 of fools H191 is folly. H200
[23] The heart H3820 of the wise H2450 teacheth H7919§ his mouth, H6310
And addeth H3254 learning H3948 to his lips. H8193
[24] Pleasant H5278 words H561 are as an honeycomb, H6688
H1706 Sweet H4966 to the soul, H5315 and health H4832 to the bones. H6106
[25] There is H3426 a way H1870 that seemeth right H3477 unto H6440 a man, H376
But the end H319 thereof are the ways H1870 of death. H4194
[26] He H5315 that laboureth H6001§ laboureth H5998 for H3588 himself;
For his mouth H6310 craveth H404 it of him.§
[27] An ungodly H1100 man H376§ diggeth up H3738 evil: H7451
And in his lips H8193 there is as a burning H6867 fire. H784
[28] A froward H8419 man H376 soweth H7971§ strife: H4066
And a whisperer H5372 separateth H6504 chief friends. H441
[29] A violent H2555 man H376 enticeth H6601 his neighbour, H7453
And leadeth H3212 him into the way H1870 that is not good. H2896
[30] He shutteth H6095 his eyes H5869 to devise H2803 froward things: H8419
Moving H7169 his lips H8193 he bringeth H3615 evil H7451 to pass. H3615
[31] The hoary head H7872 is a crown H5850 of glory, H8597
If it be found H4672 in the way H1870 of righteousness. H6666
[32] He that is slow H750 to anger H639 is better H2896 than the mighty; H1368
And he that ruleth H4910 his spirit H7307 than he that taketh H3920 a city. H5892
[33] H853 The lot H1486 is cast H2904 into the lap; H2436
But the whole disposing H4941 thereof is of the Lord. H3068
And the answer H4617 of the tongue, H3956 is from the Lord. H3068
[2] All H3605 the ways H1870 of a man H376 are clean H2134 in his own eyes; H5869
But the Lord H3068 weigheth H8505 the spirits. H7307
[3] Commit H1556§ thy works H4639 unto H413 the Lord, H3068
