Proverbs 21:1-6 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turns it wherever he will.

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 haughty look, a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

5. The thoughts of the diligent lead only to plenty; but of everyone that is hasty, only to want.

6. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
