Proverbs 21:1-8

God's Sovereignty and True Righteousness

Proverbs 21:1-8
1
The king’s heart is in the LORD’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.
2
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts.
3
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD 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.
