    Proverbs 21
    • 1   The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.
    • 2   Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.
    • 3   To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.
    • 4   A high look, and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
    • 5   The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
    • 6   Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
    • 7   The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to do what is right.
    • 8   The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
    • 9   It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman.
    • 10   The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
    • 11   When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
    • 12   The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked, and brings the wicked to ruin.
    • 13   Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.
    • 14   A gift in secret pacifies anger; and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
    • 15   It is joy to the righteous to do justice; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
    • 16   The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
    • 17   He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man. He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
    • 18   The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; the treacherous for the upright.
    • 19   It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.
    • 20   There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swallows it up.
    • 21   He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor.
    • 22   A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and brings down the strength of its confidence.
    • 23   Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
    • 24   The proud and haughty man, “scoffer” is his name; he works in the arrogance of pride.
    • 25   The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
    • 26   There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold.
    • 27   The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
    • 28   A false witness will perish, and a man who listens speaks to eternity.
    • 29   A wicked man hardens his face; but as for the upright, he establishes his ways.
    • 30   There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.
    • 31   The horse is prepared for the day of battle; but victory is with Yahweh.
