Proverbs 21:1-6 (New King James Version)
View In My Bible
1
The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.
2
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
3
To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4
A haughty look, a proud heart, And the plowing a of the wicked are sin.
5
The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.
6
Getting treasures by a lying tongue Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death. b
