Proverbs 21

New International Version NIV

1 In the LORD’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.

2 A person may think their own ways are right, but the LORD weighs the heart.

3 To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the unplowed field of the wicked—produce sin.

5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

6 A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.

7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right.

8 The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

9 Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

10 The wicked crave evil; their neighbors get no mercy from them.

11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.

12 The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.

13 Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered.

14 A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.

15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.

16 Whoever strays from the path of prudence comes to rest in the company of the dead.

17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.

18 The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the unfaithful for the upright.

19 Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.

20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.

21 Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

22 One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.

24 The proud and arrogant person—“Mocker” is his name— behaves with insolent fury.

25 The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.

26 All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable— how much more so when brought with evil intent!

28 A false witness will perish, but a careful listener will testify successfully.

29 The wicked put up a bold front, but the upright give thought to their ways.

30 There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.

31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 sicut divisiones aquarum ita cor regis in manu Domini quocumque voluerit inclinabit illud

2 omnis via viri recta sibi videtur adpendit autem corda Dominus

3 facere misericordiam et iudicium magis placent Domino quam victimae

4 exaltatio oculorum et dilatatio cordis lucerna impiorum peccatum

5 cogitationes robusti semper in abundantia omnis autem piger semper in egestate

6 qui congregat thesauros lingua mendacii vanus est et inpingetur ad laqueos mortis

7 rapinae impiorum detrahent eos quia noluerunt facere iudicium

8 perversa via viri aliena est qui autem mundus est rectum opus eius

9 melius est sedere in angulo domatis quam cum muliere litigiosa et in domo communi

10 anima impii desiderat malum non miserebitur proximo suo

11 multato pestilente sapientior erit parvulus et si sectetur sapientem sumet scientiam

12 excogitat iustus de domo impii ut detrahat impios in malum

13 qui obturat aurem suam ad clamorem pauperis et ipse clamabit et non exaudietur

14 munus absconditum extinguet iras et donum in sinu indignationem maximam

15 gaudium iusto est facere iudicium et pavor operantibus iniquitatem

16 vir qui erraverit a via doctrinae in coetu gigantum commorabitur

17 qui diligit epulas in egestate erit qui amat vinum et pinguia non ditabitur

18 pro iusto datur impius et pro rectis iniquus

19 melius est habitare in terra deserta quam cum muliere rixosa et iracunda

20 thesaurus desiderabilis et oleum in habitaculo iusti et inprudens homo dissipabit illud

21 qui sequitur iustitiam et misericordiam inveniet vitam et iustitiam et gloriam

22 civitatem fortium ascendit sapiens et destruxit robur fiduciae eius

23 qui custodit os suum et linguam suam custodit ab angustiis animam suam

24 superbus et arrogans vocatur indoctus qui in ira operatur superbiam

25 desideria occidunt pigrum noluerunt enim quicquam manus eius operari

26 tota die concupiscit et desiderat qui autem iustus est tribuet et non cessabit

27 hostiae impiorum abominabiles quia offeruntur ex scelere

28 testis mendax peribit vir oboediens loquitur victoriam

29 vir impius procaciter obfirmat vultum suum qui autem rectus est corrigit viam suam

30 non est sapientia non est prudentia non est consilium contra Dominum

31 equus paratur ad diem belli Dominus autem salutem tribuet
