Proverbs 21 (LSV)
1 The heart of a king [is] streams of waters in the hand of YHWH, || He inclines it wherever He pleases. 2 Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes, || And YHWH is pondering hearts. 3 To do righteousness and judgment, || Is chosen of YHWH rather than sacrifice. 4 Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, || Tillage of the wicked [is] sin. 5 The purposes of the diligent [are] only to advantage, || And of every hasty one, only to want. 6 The making of treasures by a lying tongue, || [Is] a vanity driven away of those seeking death. 7 The spoil of the wicked catches them, || Because they have refused to do judgment. 8 The way of a man who is vile [is] contrary, || And the pure—his work [is] upright. 9 Better to sit on a corner of the roof, || Than [with] a woman of contentions and a house of company. 10 The soul of the wicked has desired evil, his neighbor is not gracious in his eyes. 11 When the scorner is punished, the simple becomes wise, || And in giving understanding to the wise He receives knowledge. 12 The Righteous One is acting wisely || Toward the house of the wicked, || He is overthrowing the wicked for wickedness. 13 Whoever is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, || He also cries, and is not answered. 14 A gift in secret pacifies anger, || And a bribe in the bosom—strong fury. 15 To do justice [is] joy to the righteous, || But ruin to workers of iniquity. 16 A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, || Rests in an assembly of Rephaim. 17 Whoever [is] loving mirth [is] a poor man, || Whoever is loving wine and oil makes no wealth. 18 The wicked [is] an atonement for the righteous, || And the treacherous dealer for the upright. 19 Better to dwell in a wilderness land, || Than [with] a woman of contentions and anger. 20 A treasure to be desired, and oil, || [Is] in the habitation of the wise, || And a foolish man swallows it up. 21 Whoever is pursuing righteousness and kindness, || Finds life, righteousness, and honor. 22 The wise has gone up a city of the mighty, || And brings down the strength of its confidence. 23 Whoever is keeping his mouth and his tongue, || Is keeping his soul from adversities. 24 Proud, haughty, scorner—his name, || Who is working in the wrath of pride. 25 The desire of the slothful slays him, || For his hands have refused to work. 26 All the day desiring he has desired, || And the righteous gives and does not withhold. 27 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination, || Much more when he brings it in wickedness. 28 A false witness perishes, || And an attentive man speaks forever. 29 A wicked man has hardened by his face, || And the upright—he prepares his way. 30 There is no wisdom, nor understanding, || Nor counsel against YHWH. 31 A horse is prepared for a day of battle, || And the deliverance [is] of YHWH!
