Proverbs 21
21The LORD controls the mind of a king as easily as he directs the course of a stream.H4428H3820H3027H3068H6388H4325H5186H26542You may think that everything you do is right, but remember that the LORD judges your motives.H1870H376H3477H5869H3068H8505H38263Do what is right and fair; that pleases the LORD more than bringing him sacrifices.H6213H6666H4941H977H3068H20774Wicked people are controlled by their conceit and arrogance, and this is sinful.H7312H5869H7342H3820H5215H7563H24035Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough.H4284H2742H4195H213H42706The riches you get by dishonesty soon disappear, but not before they lead you into the jaws of death.H6467H214H8267H3956H1892H5086H1245H41947The wicked are doomed by their own violence; they refuse to do what is right.H7701H7563H1641H3985H6213H49418Guilty people walk a crooked path; the innocent do what is right.H1870H376H2019H2054H2134H6467H34779Better to live on the roof than share the house with a nagging wife.H2896H3427H6438H1406H4079H4066H802H2267H100410Wicked people are always hungry for evil; they have no mercy on anyone.H5315H7563H183H7451H7453H2603H586911When someone who is conceited gets his punishment, even an unthinking person learns a lesson. One who is wise will learn from what he is taught.H3887H6064H6612H2449H2450H7919H3947H184712God, the righteous one, knows what goes on in the homes of the wicked, and he will bring the wicked down to ruin.H6662H7919H1004H7563H5557H7563H745113If you refuse to listen to the cry of the poor, your own cry for help will not be heard.H331H241H2201H1800H7121H603014If someone is angry with you, a gift given secretly will calm him down.H4976H5643H3711H639H7810H2436H5794H253415When justice is done, good people are happy, but evil people are brought to despair.H8057H6662H6213H4941H4288H6466H20516Death is waiting for anyone who wanders away from good sense.H120H8582H1870H7919H5117H6951H749617Indulging in luxuries, wine, and rich food will never make you wealthy.H157H8057H4270H376H157H3196H8081H623818The wicked bring on themselves the suffering they try to cause good people.H7563H3724H6662H898H347719Better to live out in the desert than with a nagging, complaining wife.H2896H3427H776H4057H4079H4066H3708H80220Wise people live in wealth and luxury, but stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it.H214H2530H8081H5116H2450H3684H120H110421Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.H7291H6666H2617H4672H2416H6666H351922A shrewd general can take a city defended by strong men, and destroy the walls they relied on.H2450H5927H5892H1368H3381H5797H400923If you want to stay out of trouble, be careful what you say.H8104H6310H3956H8104H5315H686924Show me a conceited person and I will show you someone who is arrogant, proud, and inconsiderate.H2086H3093H3887H8034H6213H2087H567825Lazy people who refuse to work are only killing themselves;H8378H6102H4191H3027H3985H621326all they do is think about what they would like to have. The righteous, however, can give, and give generously.H183H8378H3117H6662H5414H282027The LORD hates it when wicked people offer him sacrifices, especially if they do it from evil motives.H2077H7563H8441H935H215428The testimony of a liar is not believed, but the word of someone who thinks matters through is accepted.H3577H5707H6H376H8085H1696H533129Righteous people are sure of themselves; the wicked have to pretend as best they can.H7563H376H5810H6440H3477H995H3559H187030Human wisdom, brilliance, insight - they are of no help if the LORD is against you.H2451H8394H6098H306831You can get horses ready for battle, but it is the LORD who gives victory.H5483H3559H3117H4421H8668H3068
