The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head.
The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so [do] stripes the inward parts of the belly.
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.
