New Testament

Proverbs 21:1-8 King James Version (KJV)

1. The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

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

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

4. An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

5. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one 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.

7. The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

8. The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
