The Lord works everything for its own ends – even the wicked for the day of disaster.

Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased; through fearing the Lord one avoids evil.

When a person’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, he even reconciles his enemies to himself.

The crucible is for refining silver and the furnace is for gold, likewise the Lord tests hearts.

The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent – both of them are an abomination to the Lord.

The name of the Lord is like a strong tower; the righteous person runs to it and is set safely on high.

A person’s folly subverts his way, and his heart rages against the Lord.

The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the Lord, and the Lord will repay him for his good deed.

There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the Lord which will stand.

Fearing the Lord leads to life, and one who does so will live satisfied; he will not be afflicted by calamity.

Diverse weights and diverse measures – the Lord abhors both of them.

The ear that hears and the eye that sees – the Lord has made them both.

The Lord abhors differing weights, and dishonest scales are wicked.

The human spirit is like the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.

All of a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion, but the Lord evaluates the motives.

There is no wisdom and there is no understanding, and there is no counsel against the Lord.

The reward for humility and fearing the Lord is riches and honor and life.

The eyes of the Lord guard knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the faithless person.

The mouth of an adulteress is like a deep pit; the one against whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.
