Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 Vi mennesker har mange tanker i hovedet, men Herren kan lægge os ord i munden. 2 Vi kan mene, at vi er uskyldige, men Herren kender de skjulte motiver. 3 Søg Herrens hjælp i alt, hvad du gør, så vil det lykkes for dig. 4 Herren har en plan med alt, og onde mennesker vil få deres straf. 5 Herren afskyr de hovmodige, også de vil få deres straf. 6 Ubetinget kærlighed tilgiver synd, gudsfrygt afværger meget ondt. 7 Når mennesker lever ret for Gud, lader Gud dem leve i fred for fjender. 8 Bedre at være fattig og ærlig end at være rig og uærlig. 9 Et menneske kan udtænke gode planer, men Herren afgør, hvad der sker med dem. 10 En konge taler på Guds vegne, så hans domme skal være retfærdige. 11 Herren er med i forretningslivet, så enhver handel skal være ærlig. 12 En konge kan ikke tolerere forbrydelser, for retfærdighed er grundlaget for hans magt. 13 En konge glæder sig over ærlighed, han sætter stor pris på at høre sandheden. 14 En konges vrede er dødsens farlig, men den kloge forstår at dæmpe den. 15 Når kongen smiler, er der fremgang og fred, hans velvilje fører til vækst som regn i såtiden. 16 Bedre at vinde visdom end at grave efter guld, hellere stræbe efter indsigt end lede efter sølv. 17 Den retskafnes vej fører væk fra det onde, ved at se sig godt for kan man redde livet. 18 Hovmod står for fald, den overmodige snubler let. 19 Hellere være tilfreds med det lidt, man har, end at dele rov med de rige og stolte. 20 Den, der har indsigt, klarer sig godt, velsignet er den, der sætter sin lid til Herren. 21 Den vise kendes på sin sunde fornuft, velvalgte ord bliver der lyttet til. 22 God dømmekraft giver den kloge et godt liv, men den tåbelige straffes for sin dumhed. 23 De vise kommer med visdomsord, derfor lytter man gerne til dem. 24 Venlige ord er som honning, en lise for sjælen og helse til kroppen. 25 Mange mener, de følger den rette vej, og dog ender den med død. 26 Arbejderens sult er til gavn for ham, for den hjælper ham til at arbejde hårdt. 27 Ondskabsfulde slyngler skaber ulykker overalt, deres ord hærger som en steppebrand. 28 Folk, der er fulde af løgn, skaber altid splid, sladder kan skille selv de bedste venner. 29 En forbryder opflammer sine kammerater og trækker dem med i kriminelle handlinger. 30 Den, der blinker med øjet, har ondt i sinde, sammenpressede læber tyder på skumle planer. 31 Det er en ære at blive gammel, for så har man levet et retskaffent liv. 32 Det er bedre at være tålmodig end at være stærk, lettere at indtage en by end at overvinde sig selv. 33 Mennesker kaster lod for at finde Guds vilje, men det er Herren, der bestemmer udfaldet.

King James Version

1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. 4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. 7 When a man' ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. 9 A man' heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. 10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. 11 A just weight and balance are the LORD': all the weights of the bag are his work. 12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right. 14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it. 15 In the light of the king' countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. 16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. 18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. 20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. 21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. 22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. 23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. 24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. 25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. 27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. 28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. 29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass. 31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. 32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
