Chapter 21
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.
