The preparations of the heart are man's, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

A man's heart deviseth his way; but the LORD directeth his steps.

A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; his mouth trespasseth not in judgment.

In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 智慧を得るは金をうるよりも更に善らずや 聰明をうるは銀を得るよりも望まし
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
17 惡を離るるは直き人の路なり おのれの道を守るは霊魂を守るなり
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18 驕傲は滅亡にさきだち誇る心は傾跌にさきだつ
Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 卑き者に交りて謙だるは驕ぶる者と偕にありて贓物をわかつに愈る
Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the humble, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 愼みて御言をおこなふ者は益をうべし ヱホバに倚賴むものは福なり
He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21 心に智慧あれば哲者と稱へらる くちびる甘ければ人の知識をます
The wise in heart is called a man of discernment; and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 明哲はこれを持つものに生命の泉となる 愚なる者をいましむる者はおのれの痴是なり
Understanding is a fountain of life unto him that hath it; but folly is the chastisement of fools.
23 智慧ある者の心はおのれの口ををしへ 又おのれの口唇に知識をます
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
