One who walks in integrity walks securely, But one who perverts his ways will be found out. | He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. |
The fear of man brings a snare, But one who trusts in the Lord will be protected. | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. |
|
The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way. | The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. |
The mind of a person plans his way, But the Lord directs 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, Lord, have 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; Live in the land and cultivate faithfulness. | Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. |
One who guards his mouth protects his life; One 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 futile; For it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. They decorate the idol with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not totter. They are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any 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. |
