⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways acknowledge Him,
    and He will direct your paths.

⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and depart from evil.
⁸ It will be health to your body,
    and strength to your bones.

¹² There is a way that seems right to a man,
    but its end is the way of death.

³ Commit your works to the Lord,
    and your thoughts will be established.

²⁰ He who handles a matter wisely will find good,
    and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

² A fool has no delight in understanding,
    but in expressing his own heart.

⁴ The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters,
    and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

¹⁰ The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
    the righteous run into it and are safe.

³ The foolishness of man perverts his way,
    and his heart frets against the Lord.

²⁴ Man’s goings are of the Lord;
    how can a man then understand his own way?

²² A wise man scales the city of the mighty,
    and casts down the strength of its confidence.
