Proverbs 21:2-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2. Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.

3. To do righteousness and justice Is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.

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

5. The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.

6. The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.

7. The violence of the wicked will drag them away, Because they refuse to act with justice.
