Proverbs 16:1-11

1The purposes of the heartH3820 are of manH120, but the answerH4617 of the tongueH3956 is from Jehovah.

2All the waysH1870 of a manH376 are clean in his own eyesH5869; but Jehovah weigheth the spiritsH7307.

3Commit thy worksH4639 unto Jehovah, and thy thoughtsH4284 shall be establishedH3559.

4Jehovah hath wrought everythingH3605 on his own account, yea, even the wickedH7563 for the dayH3117 of evilH7451.

5Every proud heartH3820 is an abominationH8441 to Jehovah: handH3027 for handH3027, he shall not be held innocent.

6By loving-kindness and truthH571 iniquityH5771 is atoned for; and by the fearH3374 of Jehovah [men] departH5493 from evilH7451.

7When a man's waysH1870 please Jehovah, he maketh even his enemiesH341 to be at peace with him.

8Better is a littleH4592 with righteousnessH6666, than great revenues without rightH4941.

9The heartH3820 of manH120 deviseth his wayH1870, but Jehovah directeth his stepsH6806.

10An oracle is on the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 will not err in judgmentH4941.

11The just balanceH6425 and scales are Jehovah's; all the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639.
