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