A man may think what he will say,
but at the moment the word comes to him from the Eternal.
2A man’s ways seem all right to himself,
but the Eternal has the verdict on his life.
3Trust your affairs to the Eternal,
and your plans will prosper.
4The Eternal has made everything for an end of its own--
yes, and the wicked for their day of doom!
5Anyone who is defiant is loathsome to the Eternal;
be sure of this, he shall not go unpunished.
6Kindness and loyalty atone for sin;
by reverence for the Eternal men avoid punishment.
7When the ways of man please the Eternal,
He makes even his foes friends with him.
8Better a little with honesty,
than a large income with injustice.
9A man thinks out his plans,
but the Eternal controls his course.
10Unerring is a king’s decree;
never are his rulings wrong,
11Balances and scales are controlled by the king,
weights and measures are his concern.
12Kings have a horror of wrongdoing,
for the throne is maintained by justice.
13Honest talk is the delight of kings;
they love a man who tells the truth.
14A deadly thing is the king’s anger;
a sensible man will try to pacify it.
15When the king’s face is friendly, all goes well;
his favour is like rain-clouds in the spring.
16Better get wisdom than gold,
better choose knowledge than silver.
17The path of the upright avoids misfortune;
he safeguards life who watches where he goes.
18Pride ends in disaster;
haughtiness means a downfall.
19Better be modest among poor folk
than divide plunder with the proud.
20He shall prosper who heeds God’s command;
he who relies on the Eternal, happy is he.
22The thoughtful find their wisdom adds to life,
but the fool suffers for his folly.
21A wise man is esteemed for being pleasant;
his friendly words add to his influence.
23Good sense makes men judicious in their talk;
it adds persuasiveness to what they say.
24Kindly words are like a honeycomb,
both sweet and healthful.
25What man thinks a right course
may end upon the road to death.
26A labourer’s appetite labours for him;
his hunger drives him to work.
27The rascal sets mischief afoot,
his words scorch like a fire.
28The intriguer sows discord,
the tell-tale divides friend from friend.
29The knave misleads his neighbour,
and draws him into evil courses.
30The slanderer concocts a lie,
the detractor has designs of mischief.
31Grey hairs are a crown of honour,
gained by a good life.
32A forbearing man is better than a fighting man;
he who controls himself is better than a conqueror.
33The lot is thrown into the lap,
but the issue lies only with the Eternal.
