So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
