CHAP. XXI.
1 The king's heart is in the hand of the
the Lord, as the rivers of water: he
turneth it whithersoever he will.
2 noteEvery way of a man is right in his
own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the
hearts.
3 noteTo do justice and judgment is
more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4 note noteA high look, and a proud heart,
and note the plowing of the wicked, is
sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend
only to plenteousness; but of every one
that is hasty only to want.
6 noteThe getting of treasures by a lying
tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro
by them that seek death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall note
destroy them; because they refuse to do
judgment.
8 The way of man is froward and
strange: but as for the pure, his work is
right.
9 noteIt is better to dwell in a corner of
the house-top, than with note a brawling woman
in note a wide house.
10 noteThe soul of the wicked desireth
evil: his neighbor note findeth no favor in
his eyes.
11 noteWhen the scorner is punished,
the simple is made wise: and when the
wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 The righteous man wisely considereth
the house of the wicked: but God
overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
13 noteWhoever stoppeth his ears at the
cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself,
but shall not be heard.
14 noteA gift in secret pacifieth anger:
and a reward in the bosom, strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment:
but destruction shall be to the workers of
iniquity.
16 The man that wandereth out of the
way of understanding shall remain in
the congregation of the dead.
17 He that loveth note pleasure shall be a
poor man: he that loveth wine and oil
shall not be rich.
18 noteThe wicked shall be a ransom for
the righteous, and the transgressor for
the upright.
19 noteIt is better to dwell note in the wilderness,
than with a contentious and an
angry woman.
20 There is a treasure to be desired,
and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but
a foolish man spendeth it up.
21 He that followeth after righteousness
and mercy findeth life, righteousness,
and honor.
22 noteA wise man scaleth the city of
the mighty, and casteth down the strength
of its confidence.
23 noteWhoever keepeth his mouth and
his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his
name, who dealeth note in proud wrath.
-- --
Before CHRIST, 1000.
25 noteThe desire of the slothful killeth
him; for his hands refuse to labor.
26 He coveteth greedily all the day
long: but the note righteous giveth and
spareth not.
27 noteThe sacrifice of the wicked is
abomination: how much more, when he
bringeth it note with a wicked mind?
28 note noteA false witness shall perish: but
the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face:
but as for the upright, he note directeth his
way.
30 noteThere is no wisdom nor understanding
nor counsel against the Lord.
31 noteThe horse is prepared against the
day of battle: but note note safety is from the
Lord.
