Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 021

 

021:001The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of
water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

 

021:002Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD
pondereth the hearts.

 

021:003To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than
sacrifice.

 

021:004An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the
wicked, is sin.

 

021:005The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but
of every one that is hasty only to want.

 

021:006The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed
to and fro of them that seek death.

 

021:007The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they
refuse to do judgment.

 

021:008The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure,
his work is right.

 

021:009It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a
brawling woman in a wide house.

 

021:010The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no
favour in his eyes.

 

021:011When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and
when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

 

021:012The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:
but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

 

021:013Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall
cry himself, but shall not be heard.

 

021:014A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom
strong wrath.

 

021:015It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be
to the workers of iniquity.

 

021:016The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall
remain in the congregation of the dead.

 

021:017He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth
wine and oil shall not be rich.

 

021:018The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the
transgressor for the upright.

 

021:019It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a
contentious and an angry woman.

 

021:020There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the
wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

 

021:021He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life,
righteousness, and honour.

 

021:022A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down
the strength of the confidence thereof.

 

021:023Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from
troubles.

 

021:024Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud
wrath.

 

021:025The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse
to labour.

 

021:026He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous
giveth and spareth not.

 

021:027The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more,
when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

 

021:028A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth
speaketh constantly.

 

021:029A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he
directeth his way.

 

021:030There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the
LORD.

 

021:031The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is
of the LORD.
