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.
