Proverbs 21:1-5 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. The king's heart in the hand of Jehovah is as brooks of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but Jehovah weigheth the hearts.

3. To exercise justice and judgment is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

4. Lofty eyes, and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

5. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty, only to want.
