Proverbs 21:1-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. The king’s heart is like streams of water.Both are under the Lord’s control.He turns them in any direction he chooses.

2. A person thinks everything he does is right,but the Lord weighs hearts.

3. Doing what is right and fairis more acceptable to the Lord than offering a sacrifice.

4. A conceited look and an arrogant attitude,which are the lamps of wicked people, are sins.

5. The plans of a hard-working person lead to prosperity,but everyone who is ⌊always⌋ in a hurry ends up in poverty.

6. Those who gather wealth by lying are wasting time.They are looking for death.

7. The violence of wicked people will drag them awaysince they refuse to do what is just.
