YLT - Proverbs - 21

21:1  Rivulets of waters is the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.

21:2  Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering hearts.

21:3  To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.

21:4  Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, Tillage of the wicked is sin.

21:5  The purposes of the diligent are only to advantage, And of every hasty one, only to want.

21:6  The making of treasures by a lying tongue, Is a vanity driven away of those seeking death.

21:7  The spoil of the wicked catcheth them, Because they have refused to do judgment.

21:8  Froward is the way of a man who is vile, And the pure--upright is his work.

21:9  Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than with a woman of contentions and a house of company.

21:10  The soul of the wicked hath desired evil, Not gracious in his eyes is his neighbour.

21:11  When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise, And in giving understanding to the wise He receiveth knowledge.

21:12  The Righteous One is acting wisely Towards the house of the wicked, He is overthrowing the wicked for wickedness.

21:13  Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.

21:14  A gift in secret pacifieth anger, And a bribe in the bosom strong fury.

21:15  To do justice is joy to the righteous, But ruin to workers of iniquity.

21:16  A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.

21:17  Whoso is loving mirth is a poor man, Whoso is loving wine and oil maketh no wealth.

21:18  The wicked is an atonement for the righteous, And for the upright the treacherous dealer.

21:19  Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than with a woman of contentions and anger.

21:20  A treasure to be desired, and oil, Is in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.

21:21  Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

21:22  A city of the mighty hath the wise gone up, And bringeth down the strength of its confidence.

21:23  Whoso is keeping his mouth and his tongue, Is keeping from adversities his soul.

21:24  Proud, haughty, scorner is his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.

21:25  The desire of the slothful slayeth him, For his hands have refused to work.

21:26  All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

21:27  The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination, Much more when in wickedness he bringeth it.

21:28  A false witness doth perish, And an attentive man for ever speaketh.

21:29  A wicked man hath hardened by his face, And the upright--he prepareth his way.

21:30  There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.

21:31  A horse is prepared for a day of battle, And the deliverance is of Jehovah!
