Deviseth

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

• Heart

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

• Mischievous
• Character

He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

• Liberal
• Character

But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

• Devise
• Vanity

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

• Heart

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

The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

• Ungodly
• Character

An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

• Lowly
• Character
• Prudent

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work. It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. read more Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right. The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it. In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! show less

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. show less
