Proverbs 21:1-8
Proverbs 21:1-8 CSB
A king’s heart is like channeled water in the LORD’s hand: He directs it wherever he chooses. All a person’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs hearts. Doing what is righteous and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. The lamp that guides the wicked — haughty eyes and an arrogant heart — is sin. The plans of the diligent certainly lead to profit, but anyone who is reckless certainly becomes poor. Making a fortune through a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a pursuit of death. , , The violence of the wicked sweeps them away because they refuse to act justly. A guilty one’s conduct is crooked, but the behavior of the innocent is upright.
