God's Sovereignty and True Righteousness

Proverbs 21:1-8

Rivulets of waters is the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering hearts.

To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.

Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, Tillage of the wicked is sin.

The purposes of the diligent are only to advantage, And of every hasty one, only to want.

The making of treasures by a lying tongue, Is a vanity driven away of those seeking death.

The spoil of the wicked catcheth them, Because they have refused to do judgment.

Froward is the way of a man who is vile, And the pure--upright is his work.
