On Life and Conduct
1Hati raja seperti batang air di dalam tangan TUHAN, dialirkan-Nya ke mana Ia ingini. 2Setiap jalan orang adalah lurus menurut pandangannya sendiri, tetapi Tuhanlah yang menguji hati. 3Melakukan kebenaran dan keadilan lebih dikenan TUHAN dari pada korban. 4Mata yang congkak dan hati yang sombong, yang menjadi pelita orang fasik, adalah dosa. 5Rancangan orang rajin semata-mata mendatangkan kelimpahan, tetapi setiap orang yang tergesa-gesa hanya akan mengalami kekurangan. 6Memperoleh harta benda dengan lidah dusta adalah kesia-siaan yang lenyap dari orang yang mencari maut. 7Orang fasik diseret oleh penganiayaan mereka, karena mereka menolak melakukan keadilan. 8Berliku-liku jalan si penipu, tetapi orang yang jujur lurus perbuatannya. 9Lebih baik tinggal pada sudut sotoh rumah dari pada diam serumah dengan perempuan yang suka bertengkar. 10Hati orang fasik mengingini kejahatan dan ia tidak menaruh belas kasihan kepada sesamanya. 11Jikalau si pencemooh dihukum, orang yang tak berpengalaman menjadi bijak, dan jikalau orang bijak diberi pengajaran, ia akan beroleh pengetahuan. 12Yang Mahaadil memperhatikan rumah orang fasik, dan menjerumuskan orang fasik ke dalam kecelakaan. 13Siapa menutup telinganya bagi jeritan orang lemah, tidak akan menerima jawaban, kalau ia sendiri berseru-seru. 14Pemberian dengan sembunyi-sembunyi memadamkan marah, dan hadiah yang dirahasiakan meredakan kegeraman yang hebat. 15Melakukan keadilan adalah kesukaan bagi orang benar, tetapi menakutkan orang yang berbuat jahat. 16Orang yang menyimpang dari jalan akal budi akan berhenti di tempat arwah-arwah berkumpul. 17Orang yang suka bersenang-senang akan berkekurangan, orang yang gemar kepada minyak dan anggur tidak akan menjadi kaya. 18Orang fasik dipakai sebagai tebusan bagi orang benar, dan pengkhianat sebagai ganti orang jujur. 19Lebih baik tinggal di padang gurun dari pada tinggal dengan perempuan yang suka bertengkar dan pemarah. 20Harta yang indah dan minyak ada di kediaman orang bijak, tetapi orang yang bebal memboroskannya. 21Siapa mengejar kebenaran dan kasih akan memperoleh kehidupan, kebenaran dan kehormatan. 22Orang bijak dapat memanjat kota pahlawan-pahlawan, dan merobohkan benteng yang mereka percayai. 23Siapa memelihara mulut dan lidahnya, memelihara diri dari pada kesukaran. 24Orang yang kurang ajar dan sombong pencemooh namanya, ia berlaku dengan keangkuhan yang tak terhingga. 25Si pemalas dibunuh oleh keinginannya, karena tangannya enggan bekerja. 26Keinginan bernafsu sepanjang hari, tetapi orang benar memberi tanpa batas. 27Korban orang fasik adalah kekejian, lebih-lebih kalau dipersembahkan dengan maksud jahat. 28Saksi bohong akan binasa, tetapi orang yang mendengarkan akan tetap berbicara. 29Orang fasik bermuka tebal, tetapi orang jujur mengatur jalannya. 30Tidak ada hikmat dan pengertian, dan tidak ada pertimbangan yang dapat menandingi TUHAN.
1The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD;
He turns it wherever He pleases. 2Every person’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the LORD examines the hearts. 3To do righteousness and justice
Is preferred by the LORD more than sacrifice. 4Haughty eyes and a proud heart,
The lamp of the wicked, is sin. 5The plans of the diligent certainly lead to advantage,
But everyone who is in a hurry certainly comes to poverty. 6The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death. 7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,
Because they refuse to act with justice. 8The way of a guilty person is crooked,
But as for the pure, his conduct is upright. 9It is better to live on a corner of a roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. 10The soul of the wicked desires evil;
His neighbor is shown no compassion in his eyes. 11When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise;
But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge. 12The righteous one considers the house of the wicked,
Bringing the wicked to ruin. 13One who shuts his ear to the outcry of the poor
Will also call out himself, and not be answered. 14A gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe in an inside pocket, strong wrath. 15The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous,
But terror to those who practice injustice. 16A person who wanders from the way of understanding
Will rest in the assembly of the dead. 17One who loves pleasure will become a poor person;
One who loves wine and oil will not become rich. 18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
And the treacherous is in the place of the upright. 19It is better to live in a desert land
Than with a contentious and irritating woman. 20There is precious treasure and oil in the home of the wise,
But a foolish person swallows it up. 21One who pursues righteousness and loyalty
Finds life, righteousness, and honor. 22A wise person scales the city of the mighty
And brings down the stronghold in which they trust. 23One who guards his mouth and his tongue,
Guards his soul from troubles. 24“Proud,” “Arrogant,” “Scoffer,” are his names,
One who acts with insolent pride. 25The desire of the lazy one puts him to death,
For his hands refuse to work; 26All day long he is craving,
While the righteous gives and does not hold back. 27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination,
How much more when he brings it with evil intent! 28A false witness will perish,
But a person who listens will speak forever. 29A wicked person displays a bold face,
But as for the upright, he makes his way sure. 30There is no wisdom, no understanding,
And no plan against the LORD.
He turns it wherever He pleases. 2Every person’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the LORD examines the hearts. 3To do righteousness and justice
Is preferred by the LORD more than sacrifice. 4Haughty eyes and a proud heart,
The lamp of the wicked, is sin. 5The plans of the diligent certainly lead to advantage,
But everyone who is in a hurry certainly comes to poverty. 6The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death. 7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,

31Kuda diperlengkapi untuk hari peperangan, tetapi kemenangan ada di tangan TUHAN.
31The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But the victory belongs to the LORD.
But the victory belongs to the LORD.
