Proverbs 21:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Streams of water are the heart of a king in the hand of Yahweh; wherever he will desire, he will turn.

2. Every way of a man is upright in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs hearts.

3. Doing righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

4. Haughtiness of the eyes and pride of heart, the lamp of the wicked are sin.

5. The plans of the diligent only lead to abundance, but all who are hasty, only to want.
