Proverbs 21 (KJV)   The 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 own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. {3} To do justice and
judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. {4} An high look, and
a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. {5} The thoughts of the
diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to
want. {6} The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a 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} 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, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. {10} The soul of
the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
{11} When the 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 wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their
wickedness. {13} Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall
cry himself, but shall not be heard. {14} A gift in secret pacifieth 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 iniquity. {16} The man
that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the
congregation of the dead. {17} He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he
that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. {18} The wicked shall be a ransom
for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. {19} It is better to
dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
{20} There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but
a foolish man spendeth it up. {21} He that followeth after righteousness and
mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. {22} A wise man scaleth the
city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
{23} Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
{24} Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
{25} The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
{26} He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous 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 hardeneth his
face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way. {30} There is no wisdom
nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. {31} The horse is prepared
against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
