Proverbs 21:1-5

Proverbs 21:1-5 NIVUK

In the LORD’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels towards all who please him. A person may think their own ways are right, but the LORD weighs the heart. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart – the unploughed field of the wicked – produce sin. The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
