Proverbs Book #21


PROVERBS 21

The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the
rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the
Lord weighs the hearts.

3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to
the Lord than sacrifice.

4 A haughty look, a proud heart, And the plowing of the
wicked are sin.

5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But
those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue Is the fleeting
fantasy of those who seek death.

7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them, Because
they refuse to do justice.

8 The way of a guilty man is perverse; But as for the
pure, his work is right.

9 Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a
house shared with a contentious woman.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor
finds no favor in his eyes.

11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise;
But when the wise is instructed, he receives
knowledge.

12 The righteous God wisely considers the house of the
wicked, Overthrowing the wicked for their wickedness.

13 Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor Will
also cry himself and not be heard.

14 A gift in secret pacifies anger, And a bribe behind
the back, strong wrath.

15 It is a joy for the just to do justice, But destruction
will come to the workers of iniquity.

16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will
rest in the assembly of the dead.

17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who
loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, And
the unfaithful for the upright.

19 Better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a
contentious and angry woman.

20 There is desirable treasure, And oil in the dwelling
of the wise, But a foolish man squanders it.

21 He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life,
righteousness and honor.

22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings
down the trusted stronghold.

23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul
from troubles.

24 A proud and haughty man - "Scoffer" is his name; He
acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of the lazy man kills him, For his hands
refuse to labor.

26 He covets greedily all day long, But the righteous
gives and does not spare.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How
much more when he brings it with wicked intent!

28 A false witness shall perish, But the man who hears
him will speak endlessly.

29 A wicked man hardens his face, But as for the upright,
he establishes his way.

30 There is no wisdom or understanding Or counsel
against the Lord.

31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But deliverance is of the Lord.
