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