Proverbs 21
21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,
as the rivers of water:
he turneth it whithersoever he will.
21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:
but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
21:3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
21:4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;
but of every one that is hasty only to want.
21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity
tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
21:7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them;
because they refuse to do judgment.
21:8 The way of man is froward and strange:
but as for the pure, his work is right.
21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop,
than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
21:10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil:
his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
21:11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise:
and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
21:12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:
but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
21:13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor,
he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
21:14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger:
and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
21:15 It is joy to the just to do judgment:
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
21:16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding
shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
21:17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:
he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
21:18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
21:19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
21:20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21:21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
21:22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
21:24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
21:25 The desire of the slothful killeth him;
for his hands refuse to labour.
21:26 He coveteth greedily all the day long:
but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination:
how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
21:28 A false witness shall perish:
but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
21:29 A wicked man hardeneth his face:
but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
21:31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle:
but safety is of the LORD.
