- Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.
- To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.
- A high look, and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
- The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
- Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
- The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to do what is right.
- The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
- It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman.
- The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
- When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
- The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked, and brings the wicked to ruin.
- Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.
- A gift in secret pacifies anger; and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
- It is joy to the righteous to do justice; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
- The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the dead.
- He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man. He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
- The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; the treacherous for the upright.
- It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.

- He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor.
- A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and brings down the strength of its confidence.
- Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
- The proud and haughty man, "scoffer" is his name; he works in the arrogance of pride.
- The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
- There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don't withhold.
- The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
- A false witness will perish, and a man who listens speaks to eternity.
- A wicked man hardens his face; but as for the upright, he establishes his ways.
- There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.
- The horse is prepared for the day of battle; but victory is with Yahweh.

| Proverbs 21 Text (Latin)
|
- Sicut divisiones aquarum, ita cor regis in manu Domini ; quocumque voluerit inclinabit illud.
- Omnis via viri recta sibi videtur, appendit autem corda Dominus.
- Facere misericordiam et judicium magis placet Domino quam victimæ.
- Exaltatio oculorum est dilatatio cordis ; lucerna impiorum peccatum.
- Cogitationes robusti semper in abundantia, omnis autem piger semper in egestate est.
- Qui congregat thesauros lingua mendacii vanus et excors est, et impingetur ad laqueos mortis.
- Rapinæ impiorum detrahent eos, quia noluerunt facere judicium.
- Perversa via viri aliena est ; qui autem mundus est, rectum opus ejus.
- Melius est sedere in angulo domatis, quam cum muliere litigiosa, et in domo communi.
- Anima impii desiderat malum : non miserebitur proximo suo.
- Mulctato pestilente, sapientior erit parvulus, et si sectetur sapientem, sumet scientiam.
- Excogitat justus de domo impii, ut detrahat impios a malo.
- Qui obturat aurem suam ad clamorem pauperis, et ipse clamabit, et non exaudietur.
- Munus absconditum extinguit iras, et donum in sinu indignationem maximam.
- Gaudium justo est facere judicium, et pavor operantibus iniquitatem.
- Vir qui erraverit a via doctrinæ in cœtu gigantum commorabitur.
- Qui diligit epulas in egestate erit ; qui amat vinum et pinguia non ditabitur.
- Pro justo datur impius, et pro rectis iniquus.
- Melius est habitare in terra deserta, quam cum muliere rixosa et iracunda.
- Thesaurus desiderabilis, et oleum in habitaculo justi : et imprudens homo dissipabit illud.
- Qui sequitur justitiam et misericordiam inveniet vitam, justitiam, et gloriam.
- Civitatem fortium ascendit sapiens, et destruxit robur fiduciæ ejus.
- Qui custodit os suum et linguam suam custodit ab angustiis animam suam.
- Superbus et arrogans vocatur indoctus, qui in ira operatur superbiam.
- Desideria occidunt pigrum : noluerunt enim quidquam manus ejus operari.
- Tota die concupiscit et desiderat ; qui autem justus est tribuet, et non cessabit.
- Hostiæ impiorum abominabiles, quia offeruntur ex scelere.
- Testis mendax peribit ; vir obediens loquetur victoriam.
- Vir impius procaciter obfirmat vultum suum ; qui autem rectus est corrigit viam suam.
- Non est sapientia, non est prudentia, non est consilium contra Dominum.
- Equus paratur ad diem belli ; Dominus autem salutem tribuit.

- The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
- Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
- To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
- An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
- The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
- The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
- The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
- The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
- It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
- The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
- When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
- The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
- Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
- A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
- It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
- The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
- He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
- The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
- It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
- There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
- He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
- A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
- Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
- Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
- The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
- He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
- The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
- A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
- A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
- There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
- The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
