Morning Hope – Proverbs 21

Proverbs 21

The king’s heart is a waterway in the hand of the LORD;
He directs it where He pleases.

All a man’s ways seem right to him,
but the LORD weighs the heart.




To do righteousness and justice
is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice.

Haughty eyes and a proud heart—
the guides of the wicked—are sin.

The plans of the diligent bring plenty,
as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Making a fortune by a lying tongue
is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.

The violence of the wicked will sweep them away
because they refuse to do what is just.

The way of a guilty man is crooked,
but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

Better to live on a corner of the roof
than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.




The soul of the wicked man craves evil;
his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;
and when a wise man is instructed, he acquires knowledge.

The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked
and brings the wicked to ruin.

Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor,
he too shall cry out and receive no answer.

A gift in secret soothes anger,
and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.

Justice executed is a joy to the righteous,
but a terror to the workers of iniquity.




The man who strays from the path of understanding
will rest in the assembly of the dead.

He who loves pleasure will become poor;
the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.

The wicked become a ransom for the righteous,
and the faithless for the upright.

Better to live in the desert
than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.

Precious treasures and oil are in the dwelling of the wise,
but a foolish man consumes them.

He who pursues righteousness and loving devotion
finds life, righteousness, and honor.

A wise man scales the city of the mighty
and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.

He who guards his mouth and tongue
keeps his soul from distress.

Mocker is the name of the proud and arrogant man—
of him who acts with excessive pride.

The craving of the slacker kills him
because his hands refuse to work.

All day long he covets more,
but the righteous give without restraint.

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable—|
how much more so when brought with ill intent!

A lying witness will perish,
but the man who listens to truth will speak forever.

A wicked man hardens his face,
but the upright man makes his way sure.

There is no wisdom, no understanding, no counsel
that can prevail against the LORD.

A horse is prepared for the day of battle,
but victory is of the LORD.
