Proverbs 21

He turns it wherever he desires.

but Yahweh weighs the hearts.

is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.

is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

because they refuse to do what is right.

but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

than to share a house with a contentious woman.

his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

and brings the wicked to ruin.

he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.

but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.

He who loves wine and oil won’t be rich.

the treacherous for the upright.

than with a contentious and fretful woman.

but a foolish man swallows it up.

finds life, righteousness, and honor.

and brings down the strength of its confidence.

keeps his soul from troubles.

he works in the arrogance of pride.

for his hands refuse to labor.

but the righteous give and don’t withhold.

how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!

A man who listens speaks to eternity.

but as for the upright, he establishes his ways.

nor counsel against Yahweh.

but victory is with Yahweh.
