| 21 | Proverbs | Reference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will. | |||
| Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart. | |||
| To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. | |||
| Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. | |||
| The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but every one who is hasty comes only to want. | |||
| The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death. | |||
| The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just. | |||
| The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is right. | |||
| It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a contentious woman. | |||
| The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes. | |||
| When a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge. | |||
| The righteous observes the house of the wicked; the wicked are cast down to ruin. | |||
| He who closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself cry out and not be heard. | |||
| A gift in secret averts anger; and a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath. | |||
| When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous, but dismay to evildoers. | |||
| A man who wanders from the way of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead. | |||
| He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich. | |||
| The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless for the upright. | |||
| It is better to live in a desert land than with a contentious and fretful woman. | |||
| Precious treasure remains in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it. | |||
| He who pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor. | |||
| A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust. | |||
| He who keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble. | |||
| "Scoffer" is the name of the proud, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride. | |||
| The desire of the sluggard kills him for his hands refuse to labor. | |||
| All day long the wicked covets, but the righteous gives and does not hold back. | |||
| The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent. | |||
| A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure. | |||
| A wicked man puts on a bold face, but an upright man considers his ways. | |||
| No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel, can avail against the LORD. | |||
| The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord. | |||
