AKJV - Proverbs - 21

21:1  The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turns it wherever he will.

21:2  Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD ponders the hearts.

21:3  To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

21:4  An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

21:5  The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenty; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

21:6  The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

21:7  The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

21:8  The way of man is fraudulent and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

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

21:10  The soul of the wicked desires evil: his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

21:11  When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

21:12  The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked: but God overthrows the wicked for their wickedness.

21:13  Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

21:14  A gift in secret pacifies anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

21:15  It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

21:16  The man that wanders out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

21:17  He that loves pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loves wine and oil shall not be rich.

21:18  The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

21:19  It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

21:20  There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spends it up.

21:21  He that follows after righteousness and mercy finds life, righteousness, and honor.

21:22  A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and casts down the strength of the confidence thereof.

21:23  Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

21:24  Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who deals in proud wrath.

21:25  The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labor.

21:26  He covets greedily all the day long: but the righteous gives and spares not.

21:27  The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind?

21:28  A false witness shall perish: but the man that hears speaks constantly.

21:29  A wicked man hardens his face: but as for the upright, he directs his way.

21:30  There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

21:31  The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
