Proverbs 21:2-12

²Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.

³To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

⁴A high look, and a proud heart, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

⁵The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.

⁶The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.

⁷The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.

⁸The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.

⁹It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

¹⁰The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.

¹¹When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

¹²The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, How the wicked are overthrown to their ruin.
