kjv Proverbs:21 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The king '
s heart is in the hand of the LORD ,
as the rivers of water :
he turneth it whithersoever he will .
*
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes :
but the LORD pondereth the hearts .
*
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice .
*
An high look ,
and a proud heart ,
and the plowing of the wicked ,
is sin .
*
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness ;
but of every one that is hasty only to want .
*
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death .
*
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them ;
because they refuse to do judgment .
*
The way of man is froward and strange :
but as for the pure ,
his work is right .
*
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop ,
than with a brawling woman in a wide house .
*
The soul of the wicked desireth evil :
his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes .
*
When the scorner is punished ,
the simple is made wise :
and when the wise is instructed ,
he receiveth knowledge .
*
The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked :
but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness .
*
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor ,
he also shall cry himself ,
but shall not be heard .
*
A gift in secret pacifieth anger :
and a reward in the bosom strong wrath .
*
It is joy to the just to do judgment :
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity .
*
The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead .
*
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man :
he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich .
*
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous ,
and the transgressor for the upright .
*
It is better to dwell in the wilderness ,
than with a contentious and an angry woman .
*
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise ;
but a foolish man spendeth it up .
*
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life ,
righteousness ,
and honour .
*
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty ,
and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof .
*
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles .
*
Proud and haughty scorner is his name ,
who dealeth in proud wrath .
*
The desire of the slothful killeth him ;
for his hands refuse to labour .
*
He coveteth greedily all the day long :
but the righteous giveth and spareth not .
*
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination :
how much more ,
when he bringeth it with a wicked mind ?
*
A false witness shall perish :
but the man that heareth speaketh constantly .
*
A wicked man hardeneth his face :
but as for the upright ,
he directeth his way .
*
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD .
*
The horse is prepared against the day of battle :
but safety is of the LORD .
