Proverbs 21:1-4

¹As partings of waters, so the heart of the king is in the power of the Lord; whither ever he will, he shall bow it. (Like out-flowings of water, (is) the king’s heart in the Lord’s hand; he shall turn it wherever he will, (or desireth).)

²Each way of a man seemeth rightful to himself; but the Lord weigheth the hearts.

³To do mercy and doom, pleaseth more the Lord, than sacrifices. (To do mercy and justice, that pleaseth the Lord more than sacrifices, or burnt offerings.)

⁴Enhancing of eyes is the alarging of the heart; the lantern of wicked men is sin. (The raising up of the eyes, and the enlarging of the heart; such sins be the lantern of the wicked.)
