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

Proverbs 21:1-3

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

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

Proverbs 21:6-8

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.

Proverbs 21:19-21

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

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