Proverbs 21:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord;he turns it wherever he will.

2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,but the Lord weighs the heart.

3. To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4. Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin.
