Proverbs 21:1-8

God's Sovereignty and True Righteousness

Proverbs 21:1-8
1
The king's heart in ADONAI's hand is like streams of water -he directs it wherever he pleases.
2
All a person's ways are right in his own view, but ADONAI weighs the heart.
3
To do what is right and just is more pleasing to ADONAI than sacrifice.
4
Haughty looks, a proud heart -what the wicked plow is sin.
5
The plans of the diligent lead only to abundance; but all who rush in arrive only at want.
6
A fortune gained by a lying tongue is vapor dispersed [by] seekers of death.
7
The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to act justly.
8
A criminal's conduct is crooked, but the work of the pure is right.
