Verse 1א׳Standard1,291

פַּלְגֵי־מַיִם לֶב־מֶלֶךְ בְּיַד־יְהוָה עַֽל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ יַטֶּֽנּוּ

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever He will.

Verse 2ב׳Standard2,183

כָּֽל־דֶּרֶךְ־אִישׁ יָשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו וְתֹכֵן לִבּוֹת יְהוָֽה

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But the LORD weigheth the hearts.

Verse 3ג׳Standard1,382

עֲשֹׂה צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט נִבְחָר לַיהוָה מִזָּֽבַח

To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

Verse 4ד׳Standard1,962

רוּם־עֵינַיִם וּרְחַב־לֵב נִר רְשָׁעִים חַטָּֽאת

A haughty look, and a proud heart— The tillage of the wicked is sin.

Verse 5ה׳Standard2,269

מַחְשְׁבוֹת חָרוּץ אַךְ־לְמוֹתָר וְכָל־אָץ אַךְ־לְמַחְסֽוֹר

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.

Verse 6ו׳Standard2,940

פֹּעַל אוֹצָרוֹת בִּלְשׁוֹן שָׁקֶר הֶבֶל נִדָּף מְבַקְשֵׁי־מָֽוֶת

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapour driven to and fro; they [that seek them] seek death.

Verse 7ז׳Standard2,545

שֹׁד־רְשָׁעִים יְגוֹרֵם כִּי מֵאֲנוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּֽט

The violence of the wicked shall drag them away; Because they refuse to do justly.

Verse 8ח׳Standard1,682

הֲפַכְפַּךְ דֶּרֶךְ אִישׁ וָזָר וְזַךְ יָשָׁר פָּעֳלֽוֹ

The way of man is froward and strange; But as for the pure, his work is right.

Verse 9ט׳Standard2,908

טוֹב לָשֶׁבֶת עַל־פִּנַּת־גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָֽבֶר

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, Than in a house in common with a contentious woman.

Verse 10י׳Standard2,210

נֶפֶשׁ רָשָׁע אִוְּתָה־רָע לֹא־יֻחַן בְּעֵינָיו רֵעֵֽהוּ

The soul of the wicked desireth evil; His neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
