## Salvation Belongs to Yahweh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
The king's heart is _like_ channels of water in the hand of Yahweh; He turns it wherever He pleases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But Yahweh weighs the hearts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
To do righteousness and justice Is chosen by Yahweh over sacrifice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Haughty eyes and a proud heart-- The fallow ground of the wicked--are sin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
The thoughts of the diligent _lead_ surely to profit, But everyone who is hasty _comes_ surely to poverty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Working for treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting breath, by those who pursue death.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
The destruction of the wicked will drag them away, Because they refuse to do justice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
The way of a guilty man is perverse, But as for the pure, his work is upright.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
The soul of the wicked craves evil; His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
When the scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; And when one considers wisdom, he receives knowledge.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
The righteous one considers the house of the wicked, Turning the wicked to ruin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
He who shuts his ear to the outcry of the poor Will himself also call and not be answered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
A gift in secret subdues anger, And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
To do justice is pleasure for the righteous, But is ruin to the workers of iniquity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
A man who wanders from the way of insight Will rest in the assembly of the dead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
He who loves pleasure _will become_ a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
It is better to live in a desert land Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
There is desirable treasure and oil in the abode of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
He who pursues righteousness and lovingkindness Finds life, righteousness, and glory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
A wise man goes up to the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
He who keeps his mouth and his tongue, Keeps his soul from troubles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
"Arrogant," "Haughty," "Scoffer," are his names, Who acts with arrogant fury.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 26
|
||
|
|
All day long he is insatiably craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 27
|
||
|
|
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, How much more when he brings it with a wicked scheme!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 28
|
||
|
|
A false witness will perish, But the man who listens will speak forever.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 29
|
||
|
|
A wicked man displays a brazen face, But as for the upright, he establishes his way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 30
|
||
|
|
There is no wisdom, there is no discernment And there is no counsel against Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 31
|
||
|
|
The horse is set for the day of battle, But salvation belongs to Yahweh.
|
