Chapter 21
The
kings
heart
is
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord,
as
the
riuers
of
water:
hee
turneth
it
whithersoeuer
he
will.
2
Euery
way
of
a
man
is
right
in
his
owne
eyes:
but
the
Lord
pondereth
the
hearts.
3
To
doe
iustice
and
iudgement,
is
more
acceptable
to
the
Lord,
then
sacrifice.
4
An
high
looke,
and
a
proud
heart,
and
the
plowing
of
the
wicked,
is
sinne.
5
The
thoughts
of
the
diligent
tend
onely
to
plenteousnes:
but
of
euery
one
that
is
hastie,
onely
to
want.
6
The
getting
of
treasures
by
a
lying
tongue,
is
a
vanitie
tossed
to
and
fro
of
them
that
seeke
death.
7
The
robbery
of
the
wicked
shall
destroy
them;
because
they
refuse
to
doe
iudgement.
8
The
way
of
man
is
froward
and
strange:
but
as
for
the
pure;
his
worke
is
right.
9
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
a
corner
of
the
house
top;
then
with
a
brawling
woman
in
a
wide
house.
10
The
soule
of
the
wicked
desireth
euill:
his
neighbour
findeth
no
fauour
in
his
eyes.
11
When
the
scorner
is
punished,
the
simple
is
made
wise:
and
when
the
wise
is
instructed,
he
receiueth
knowledge.
12
The
righteous
man
wisely
considereth
the
house
of
the
wicked:
but
God
ouerthroweth
the
wicked
for
their
wickednesse.
13
Whoso
stoppeth
his
eares
at
the
cry
of
the
poore,
hee
also
shall
cry
himselfe,
but
shall
not
be
heard.
14
A
gift
in
secret
pacifieth
anger;
and
a
reward
in
the
bosome,
strong
wrath.
15
It
is
ioy
to
the
iust
to
doe
iudgement:
but
destruction
shalbe
to
the
workers
of
iniquitie.
16
The
man
that
wandreth
out
of
the
way
of
vnderstanding,
shall
remaine
in
the
congregation
of
the
dead.
17
He
that
loueth
pleasure,
shall
be
a
poore
man:
hee
that
loueth
wine
and
oyle,
shall
not
be
rich.
18
The
wicked
shalbe
a
ransome
for
the
righteous;
and
the
transgressour
for
the
vpright.
19
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
the
wildernesse,
then
with
a
contentious
and
an
angry
woman.
20
There
is
treasure
to
be
desired,
and
oyle
in
the
dwelling
of
the
wise:
but
a
foolish
man
spendeth
it
vp.
21
Hee
that
followeth
after
righteousnesse
and
mercy,
findeth
life,
righteousnesse
and
honour.
22
A
wise
man
scaleth
the
citie
of
the
mightie,
and
casteth
downe
the
strength
of
the
confidence
thereof.
23
Whoso
keepeth
his
mouth
and
his
tongue,
keepeth
his
soule
from
troubles.
24
Proud
and
haughtie
scorner,
is
his
name,
who
dealeth
in
proud
wrath.
25
The
desire
of
the
slouthfull
killeth
him:
for
his
hands
refuse
to
labour.
26
Hee
coueteth
greedily
all
the
day
long:
but
the
righteous
giueth
and
spareth
not.
27
The
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
abomination:
how
much
more,
when
he
bringeth
it
with
a
wicked
minde?
28
A
false
witnesse
shall
perish:
but
the
man
that
heareth,
speaketh
constantly.
29
A
wicked
man
hardeneth
his
face:
but
as
for
the
vpright,
he
directeth
his
way.
30
There
is
no
wisedome,
nor
vnderstanding,
nor
counsell
against
the
Lord.
31
The
horse
is
prepared
against
the
day
of
battell:
but
safetie
is
of
the
Lord.
