Proverbs 21:1-5 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it.

2. Every way of a man seemeth right to himself: but the Lord weigheth the hearts.

3. To do mercy and judgment, pleaseth the Lord more than victims.

4. Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin.

5. The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want.
