God:
1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord,
Like the rivers of water;
He turns it wherever He wishes.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
12 The righteous God wisely considers the house of the wicked,
Overthrowing the wicked for their wickedness.
30 There is no wisdom or understanding
Or counsel against the Lord.
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But deliverance is of the Lord.
Wicked:
4 A haughty look, a proud heart,
And the plowing of the wicked are sin.
6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue
Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.
7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them,
Because they refuse to do justice.
9 Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;
His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
13 Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be heard.
16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding
Will rest in the assembly of the dead.
17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;
He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,
And the unfaithful for the upright.
19 Better to dwell in the wilderness,
Than with a contentious and angry woman.
24 A proud and haughty man— “Scoffer” is his name;
He acts with arrogant pride.
25 The desire of the lazy man kills him,
For his hands refuse to labor.
26 He covets greedily all day long,
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
How much more when he brings it with wicked intent!
28 A false witness shall perish,
But the man who hears him will speak endlessly.
Diligent vs hasty:
5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty,
But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.
Pure vs guilty:
8 The way of a guilty man is perverse;
But as for the pure, his work is right.
Wise vs scoffer:
11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise;
But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
20 There is desirable treasure,
And oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man squanders it.
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty,
And brings down the trusted stronghold.
Bribe:
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger,
And a bribe behind the back, strong wrath.
Just vs workers of iniquity:
15 It is a joy for the just to do justice,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
Righteousness/Mercy:
21 He who follows righteousness and mercy
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
26 But the righteous gives and does not spare.
Words:
23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles.
Upright vs wicked:
29 A wicked man hardens his face,
But as for the upright, he establishes his way.
