2.8 KiB
Chapter 21
-
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 everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
-
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 upright.
-
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
-
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 One observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.
-
Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.
-
A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe, strong wrath.
-
When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.
-
One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead.
-
Whoever 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 traitor for the upright.
-
It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.
-
Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.
-
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.
-
A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
-
Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
-
"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.
-
The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
-
All day long he craves and craves, 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 the upright gives thought to 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.
