Proverbs 21

21The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.H4428H3820H3027H3068H6388H4325H5186H26542Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.H1870H376H3477H5869H3068H8505H38263To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.H6213H6666H4941H977H3068H20774Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin.H7312H5869H7342H3820H5215H7563H24035The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.H4284H2742H4195H213H42706The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.H6467H214H8267H3956H1892H5086H1245H41947The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just.H7701H7563H1641H3985H6213H49418The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.H1870H376H2019H2054H2134H6467H34779It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.H2896H3427H6438H1406H4079H4066H802H2267H100410The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.H5315H7563H183H7451H7453H2603H586911When a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.H3887H6064H6612H2449H2450H7919H3947H184712The Righteous One observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.H6662H7919H1004H7563H5557H7563H745113Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.H331H241H2201H1800H7121H603014A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe, strong wrath.H4976H5643H3711H639H7810H2436H5794H253415When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.H8057H6662H6213H4941H4288H6466H20516One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead.H120H8582H1870H7919H5117H6951H749617Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.H157H8057H4270H376H157H3196H8081H623818The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.H7563H3724H6662H898H347719It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.H2896H3427H776H4057H4079H4066H3708H80220Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.H214H2530H8081H5116H2450H3684H120H110421Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.H7291H6666H2617H4672H2416H6666H351922A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.H2450H5927H5892H1368H3381H5797H400923Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.H8104H6310H3956H8104H5315H686924"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.H2086H3093H3887H8034H6213H2087H567825The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.H8378H6102H4191H3027H3985H621326All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.H183H8378H3117H6662H5414H282027The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent.H2077H7563H8441H935H215428A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.H3577H5707H6H376H8085H1696H533129A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his ways.H7563H376H5810H6440H3477H995H3559H187030No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the LORD.H2451H8394H6098H306831The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.H5483H3559H3117H4421H8668H3068

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
