New Testament

Proverbs 21:1-6 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. The king’s heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will.

2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.

3. To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

4. A high look, and a proud heart, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

5. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.

6. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.
