Proverbs 21:1-28 - ESV - The king's heart is a stream of water in the ha...

1 The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he ¹turns it wherever he will.

2 ²Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD ³weighs the heart.

3 ⁴To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4 ⁵Haughty eyes and a proud heart, ⁶the lamp^a of the wicked, are sin.

5 The plans of ⁷the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is ⁸hasty comes ⁹only to poverty.

6 ¹⁰The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a ¹¹fleeting ¹²vapor and a ¹³snare of death.^b

7 The violence of the wicked will ¹⁴sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just.

8 The way of the guilty ¹⁵is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9 It is ¹⁶better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

11 When ¹⁷a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12 The Righteous One ¹⁸observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.

13 ¹⁹Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.

14 ²⁰A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe,^c strong wrath.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous ²¹but terror to evildoers.

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense ²²will rest in the assembly of the dead.

17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 ²³The wicked is a ²⁴ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

19 It is ²⁵better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20 ²⁶Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man ²⁷devours it.

21 Whoever ²⁸pursues righteousness and kindness will find ²⁹life, righteousness, and honor.

22 ³⁰A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 ³¹Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue ³²keeps himself out of ³³trouble.

24 ³⁴"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of ³⁵the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26 All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous ³⁶gives and does not hold back.

27 ³⁷The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more ³⁸when he brings it with evil intent.

28 ³⁹A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.
