| 1 | The king's heart in the hands of the Lord is like the water streams, and by him it is turned in any direction at his pleasure. | The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. |
| 2 | Every way of a man seems right to himself, but the Lord is the tester of hearts. | Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. |
| 3 | To do what is right and true is more pleasing to the Lord than an offering. | To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. |
| 4 | A high look and a heart of pride, *** of the evil-doer is sin. | An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. |
| 5 | The purposes of the man of industry have their outcome only in wealth; but one who is over-quick in acting will only come to be in need. | The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. |
| 6 | He who gets stores of wealth by a false tongue, is going after what is only breath, and searching for death. | The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. |
| 7 | By their violent acts the evil-doers will be pulled away, because they have no desire to do what is right. | The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment. |
| 8 | Twisted is the way of him who is full of crime; but as for him whose heart is clean, his work is upright. | The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right. |
| 9 | It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house. | It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. |
| 10 | The desire of the evil-doer is fixed on evil: he has no kind feeling for his neighbour. | The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. |
| 11 | When the man of pride undergoes punishment, the simple man gets wisdom; and by watching the wise he gets knowledge. | When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. |
| 12 | The Upright One, looking on the house of the evil-doer, lets sinners be overturned to their destruction. | The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness. |
| 13 | He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help. | Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. |
| 14 | By a secret offering wrath is turned away, and the heat of angry feelings by money in the folds of the robe. | A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath. |
| 15 | It is a joy to the good man to do right, but it is destruction to the workers of evil. | It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. |
| 16 | The wanderer from the way of knowledge will have his resting-place among the shades. | The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. |
| 17 | The lover of pleasure will be a poor man: the lover of wine and oil will not get wealth. | He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. |
| 18 | The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright. | The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. |
| 19 | It is better to be living in a waste land, than with a bitter-tongued and angry woman. | It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. |
| 20 | There is a store of great value in the house of the wise, but it is wasted by the foolish man. | There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. |
| 21 | He who goes after righteousness and mercy will get life, righteousness, and honour. | He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. |
| 22 | A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith. | A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof. |
| 23 | He who keeps watch over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles. | Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. |
| 24 | The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride. | Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. |
| 25 | The desire of the hater of work is death to him, for his hands will do no work. | The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. |
| 26 | All the day the sinner goes after his desire: but the upright man gives freely, keeping nothing back. | He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not. |
| 27 | The offering of evil-doers is disgusting: how much more when they give it with an evil purpose! | The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? |
| 28 | A false witness will be cut off, ... | A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly. |
| 29 | The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way. | A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way. |
| 30 | Wisdom and knowledge and wise suggestions are of no use against the Lord. | There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord. |
| 31 | The horse is made ready for the day of war, but power to overcome is from the Lord. | The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord. |
