³ Don’t ever stop being kind and truthful.
    Let kindness and truth show in all you do.
    Write them down in your mind as if on a tablet.
⁴ Then you will be respected
    and pleasing to both God and men.

¹¹ My child, do not reject the Lord’s discipline.
    And don’t become angry when he corrects you.

²¹ The Lord sees everything you do.
    He watches where you go.

¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates.
    There are seven things he cannot stand:
¹⁷     a proud look,
    a lying tongue,
    hands that kill innocent people,
¹⁸     a mind that thinks up evil plans,
    feet that are quick to do evil,
¹⁹     a witness who tells lies
    and a man who causes trouble among brothers.

³ The Lord’s eyes see everything that happens.
    He watches both evil and good people.

¹¹ The Lord knows what is happening where the dead people are.
    So he can surely know what living people are thinking.

²⁹ The Lord does not listen to the wicked.
    But he hears the prayers of those who do right.

16 People make plans in their hearts.
    But only the Lord can make those plans come true.

² A person may believe he is doing right.
    But the Lord will judge his reasons.

⁹ A person may think up plans.
    But the Lord decides what he will do.
