1It is the part of man to prepare the soul: and of the Lord to govern the tongue.
2人一切所行的，在自己眼中看為清潔； 惟有耶和華衡量人心。

5凡心裏驕傲的，為耶和華所憎惡； 雖然 連手，他必不免受罰。
5Every proud man is an abomination to the Lord: though hand should be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice; and this is more acceptable with God, than to offer sacrifices.

24良言 如同 蜂房， 使心覺甘甜，使骨得醫治。
24Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
