Proverbs 21:1-8

Proverbs 21:1-8 NET

NIVKJVESVNLTNKJV

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD like channels of water; he turns it wherever he wants. All of a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion, but the LORD evaluates the motives. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart – the agricultural product of the wicked is sin. The plans of the diligent lead only to plenty, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. Making a fortune by a lying tongue is like a vapor driven back and forth; they seek death. The violence done by the wicked will drag them away because they refuse to do what is right. The way of the guilty person is devious, but as for the pure, his way is upright.
