Proverbs 21:1-5 New English Translation (NET)

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

2. All of a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion,but the Lord evaluates the motives.

3. To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4. Haughty eyes and a proud heart – the agricultural product of the wicked is sin.

5. The plans of the diligent lead only to plenty,but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
