| Proverbs 21: (KJV) |
| 1) The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. |
| 2) Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. |
| 3) To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. |
| 4) An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. |
| 5) The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. |
| 6) The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. |
| 7) The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment. |
| 8) The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right. |
| 9) It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. |
| 10) The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. |
| 11) When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. |
| 12) The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness. |
| 13) Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. |
| 14) A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath. |
| 15) It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. |
| 16) The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. |
| 17) He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. |
| 18) The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. |
| 19) It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. |
| 20) There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. |
| 21) He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. |
| 22) A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof. |
| 23) Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. |
| 24) Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. |
| 25) The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. |
| 26) He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not. |
| 27) The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? |
| 28) A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly. |
| 29) A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way. |
| 30) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. |
| 31) The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD. |
