For the ways of a person are in front of the Lord’s eyes, and the Lord weighs all that person’s paths.

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride and the evil way and perverse utterances.

Death and Destruction are before the Lord – how much more the hearts of humans!

The Lord abhors every arrogant person; rest assured that they will not go unpunished.

The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord like channels of water; he turns it wherever he wants.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but rather be zealous in fearing the Lord all the time.

Fear the Lord, my child, as well as the king, and do not associate with rebels,

Evil people do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it all.

lest I become satisfied and act deceptively and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I become poor and steal and demean the name of my God.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
