Proverbs 21:2-12

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 A haughty look and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, are sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness, but of everyone that is hasty, only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity which is tossed to and fro by them that seek death.
7 The robberies 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 large house.
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil; his neighbor findeth no favor 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, how God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
