21:1 The
kings
heart
is
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord,
as
the
riuers
of
water:
hee
turneth
it
whithersoeuer
he
will.
21:2 Euery
way
of
a
man
is
right
in
his
owne
eyes:
but
the
Lord
pondereth
the
hearts.
21:3 To
doe
iustice
and
iudgement,
is
more
acceptable
to
the
Lord,
then
sacrifice.
21:4 An
high
looke,
and
a
proud
heart,
and
the
plowing
of
the
wicked,
is
sinne.
21:5 The
thoughts
of
the
diligent
tend
onely
to
plenteousnes:
but
of
euery
one
that
is
hastie,
onely
to
want.
21:6 The
getting
of
treasures
by
a
lying
tongue,
is
a
vanitie
tossed
to
and
fro
of
them
that
seeke
death.
21:7 The
robbery
of
the
wicked
shall
destroy
them;
because
they
refuse
to
doe
iudgement.
21:8 The
way
of
man
is
froward
and
strange:
but
as
for
the
pure;
his
worke
is
right.
21:9 It
is
better
to
dwell
in
a
corner
of
the
house
top;
then
with
a
brawling
woman
in
a
wide
house.
21:10 The
soule
of
the
wicked
desireth
euill:
his
neighbour
findeth
no
fauour
in
his
eyes.
21:11 When
the
scorner
is
punished,
the
simple
is
made
wise:
and
when
the
wise
is
instructed,
he
receiueth
knowledge.
21:12 The
righteous
man
wisely
considereth
the
house
of
the
wicked:
but
God
ouerthroweth
the
wicked
for
their
wickednesse.
21:13 Whoso
stoppeth
his
eares
at
the
cry
of
the
poore,
hee
also
shall
cry
himselfe,
but
shall
not
be
heard.
21:14 A
gift
in
secret
pacifieth
anger;
and
a
reward
in
the
bosome,
strong
wrath.
21:15 It
is
ioy
to
the
iust
to
doe
iudgement:
but
destruction
shalbe
to
the
workers
of
iniquitie.
21:16 The
man
that
wandreth
out
of
the
way
of
vnderstanding,
shall
remaine
in
the
congregation
of
the
dead.
21:17 He
that
loueth
pleasure,
shall
be
a
poore
man:
hee
that
loueth
wine
and
oyle,
shall
not
be
rich.
21:18 The
wicked
shalbe
a
ransome
for
the
righteous;
and
the
transgressour
for
the
vpright.
21:19 It
is
better
to
dwell
in
the
wildernesse,
then
with
a
contentious
and
an
angry
woman.
21:20 There
is
treasure
to
be
desired,
and
oyle
in
the
dwelling
of
the
wise:
but
a
foolish
man
spendeth
it
vp.
21:21 Hee
that
followeth
after
righteousnesse
and
mercy,
findeth
life,
righteousnesse
and
honour.
21:22 A
wise
man
scaleth
the
citie
of
the
mightie,
and
casteth
downe
the
strength
of
the
confidence
thereof.
21:23 Whoso
keepeth
his
mouth
and
his
tongue,
keepeth
his
soule
from
troubles.
21:24 Proud
and
haughtie
scorner,
is
his
name,
who
dealeth
in
proud
wrath.
21:25 The
desire
of
the
slouthfull
killeth
him:
for
his
hands
refuse
to
labour.
21:26 Hee
coueteth
greedily
all
the
day
long:
but
the
righteous
giueth
and
spareth
not.
21:27 The
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
abomination:
how
much
more,
when
he
bringeth
it
with
a
wicked
minde
21:28 A
false
witnesse
shall
perish:
but
the
man
that
heareth,
speaketh
constantly.
21:29 A
wicked
man
hardeneth
his
face:
but
as
for
the
vpright,
he
directeth
his
way.
21:30 There
is
no
wisedome,
nor
vnderstanding,
nor
counsell
against
the
Lord.
21:31 The
horse
is
prepared
against
the
day
of
battell:
but
safetie
is
of
the
Lord.
