Proverbs 21:1-5 English Revised Version (ERV)

1. The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD as the watercourses: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD weigheth the hearts.

3. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4. An 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.
