Proverbios 21:1-6

1 Como los repartimientos de las aguas, así está el corazón del rey en la mano del SEÑOR; a todo lo que quiere lo inclina.

2 Todo camino del hombre es recto en su opinión; mas el SEÑOR pesa los corazones.

3 Hacer justicia y juicio es al SEÑOR más agradable que sacrificio.

4 Altivez de ojos, y orgullo de corazón, que es la candela de los impíos, es pecado.

5 Los pensamientos del solícito ciertamente van a abundancia; mas los de todo presuroso, indefectiblemente a pobreza.

6 Allegar tesoros con lengua de mentira, es vanidad desatentada de aquellos que buscan la muerte.
