Proverbes 21
XXI ¶ The kings heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the riuers of water: hee turneth it whithersoeuer he will. 2 [fn]Euery way of a man is right in his owne eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. 3 [fn]To doe iustice and iudgement, is more acceptable to the LORD, then sacrifice. 4 [fn][fn][fn]An high looke, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sinne. 5 The thoughts of the diligent tend onely to plenteousnes: but of euery one that is hastie, onely to want. 6 [fn]The getting of treasures by a lying tongue, is a vanitie tossed to and fro of them that seeke death. 7 [fn]The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to doe iudgement. 8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure; his worke is right. 9 [fn][fn][fn]It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top; then with a brawling woman in a wide house. 10 [fn][fn]The soule of the wicked desireth euill: his neighbour findeth no fauour in his eyes. 11 [fn]When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiueth knowledge. 12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their wickednesse. 13 [fn]Whoso stoppeth his eares at the cry of the poore, hee also shall cry himselfe, but shall not be heard. 14 [fn]A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a reward in the bosome, strong wrath. 15 It is ioy to the iust to doe iudgement: but destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie. 16 The man that wandreth out of the way of vnderstanding, shall remaine in the congregation of the dead. 17 [fn]He that loueth pleasure, shall be a poore man: hee that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be rich. 18 [fn]The wicked shalbe a ransome for the righteous; and the transgressour for the vpright. 19 [fn][fn]It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and an angry woman. 20 There is treasure to be desired, and oyle in the dwelling of the wise: but a foolish man spendeth it vp. 21 Hee that followeth after righteousnesse and mercy, findeth life, righteousnesse and honour. 22 [fn]A wise man scaleth the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof. 23 [fn]Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from troubles. 24 [fn]Proud and haughtie scorner, is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. 25 [fn]The desire of the slouthfull killeth him: for his hands refuse to labour. 26 [fn]Hee coueteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giueth and spareth not. 27 [fn][fn]The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked minde? 28 [fn][fn]A false witnesse shall perish: but the man that heareth, speaketh constantly. 29 [fn]A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the vpright, he directeth his way. 30 [fn]There is no wisedome, nor vnderstanding, nor counsell against the LORD. 31 [fn][fn][fn]The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but safetie is of the LORD.
