Proverbs 21:1-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord;he directs it wherever he wants.

2. Everyone’s path is straight in their own eyes,but the Lord weighs the heart.

3. Acting with righteousness and justiceis more valued by the Lord than sacrifice.

4. Prideful eyes, an arrogant heart, andthe lamp of the wicked are all sinful.

5. The plans of the diligent end up in profit,but those who hurry end up with loss.

6. Those who gain treasure with liesare like a drifting fog, leading to death.
