DRC - Proverbs - 21

21:1  As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will, he shall turn it.

21:2  Every way of a man seemeth right to himself: but the Lord weigheth the hearts.

21:3  To do mercy and judgment, pleaseth the Lord more than victims.

21:4  Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin.

21:5  The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want.

21:6  He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death.

21:7  The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment.

21:8  The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right.

21:9  It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.

21:10  The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour.

21:11  When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge.

21:12  The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil.

21:13  He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself, and shall not be heard.

21:14  A secret present quencheth anger: and a gift in the bosom, the greatest wrath.

21:15  It is joy to the just to do judgment: and dread to them that work iniquity.

21:16  A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants.

21:17  He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich.

21:18  The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous.

21:19  It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.

21:20  There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it.

21:21  He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory.

21:22  The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof.

21:23  He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress.

21:24  The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride.

21:25  Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all.

21:26  He longeth and desireth all the day: but he that is just, will give, and will not cease.

21:27  The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.

21:28  A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory.

21:29  The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way.

21:30  There is no wisdom, there is no prudence, there is no counsel against the Lord.

21:31  The horse is prepared for the day of battle: but the Lord giveth safety.
