The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. |
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. | He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. |

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way. | The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. |
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. | A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. |
In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. | I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. |
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. | Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. |
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. |
For the customs of the peoples are vanity. A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman. They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move. Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good. | For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. |
