Proverbs Chapter 21 -
1 As [G5618 ] a rush [G3730 ] of water [G5204 ] , so [G3779 ] [is the] heart [G2588 ] of a king in [G1722 ] hand [G5495 ] of God '[G2316 ] ; where [G3739 ] ever [G1437 ] wishing [G2309 ] he should nod [G3506 ] , there [G1563 ] he leans [G2827 ] it [G1473 ] . 2 Every [G3956 ] man appears [G5316 ] to himself [G1438 ] just [G1342 ] ; straightens out [G2720 ] but [G1161 ] heart [G2588 ] Boss '[G2962 ] . 3 To do [G4160 ] just [things] [G1342 ] and [G2532 ] to be truthful [are] more pleasing [G3844 ] to God '[G2316 ] rather [G3123 ] , than [G2228 ] a sacrifice [G2378 ] of blood . 4 A high-minded man in [G1909 ] [his] insolence [G5196 ] is bold-hearted ; and torch [G1161 ] of impious [is] sin . 5 thoughts [G1261 ] of vigorous [are] in [G1519 ] plenty [G4140 ] ; and [G2532 ] every one [G3956 ] the [G3588 ] hastening [G4692 ] [is] unto [G1722 ] less [G1640 ] . 6 the [one] [G3588 ] producing [G1754 ] treasures tongue [G1100 ] by a lying [G5571 ] vanity [G3152 ] pursues [G1377 ] , and [G2532 ] comes [G2064 ] unto [G1909 ] snare [G3803 ] of death [G2288 ] . 7 ruin [G3639 ] of impious is welcomed as a guest ; for they do not [G3756 ] [G1161 ] prefer [G1014 ] to do [G4238 ] the [G3588 ] just [things] [G1342 ] . 8 To [G4314 ] the [G3588 ] crooked ones [G4646 ] , crooked [G4646 ] ways [G3598 ] sends the [G3588 ] God '[G2316 ] ; [are] pure for [G1063 ] and [G2532 ] straight [G3717 ] the [G3588 ] his works [G2041 ] [G1473 ] . 9 Better [G2908 ] to live [G3611 ] upon [G1909 ] a corner [G1137 ] [of the housetop] in the open air , than [G2228 ] [houses] being whitewashed [G2867 ] with [G3326 ] injustice , and [G2532 ] in [G1722 ] house [G3624 ] a profane [G2839 ] . 10 soul [G5590 ] of impious desires [G1937 ] evils [G2556 ] ; it will not be shown compassion [G3756 ] [G1563 ] by [G5259 ] anyone [G3762 ] of the [G3588 ] men . 11 With penalizing [G2210 ] of an unrestrained man , more clever [G3835 ] becomes [G1096 ] the [G3588 ] guileless man ; but by perceiving [G4920 ] , a wise man [G4680 ] will receive [G1209 ] knowledge [G1108 ] . 12 perceives [G4920 ] A just man [G1342 ] hearts [G2588 ] of impious ; and [G2532 ] he treats as worthless impious in [G1722 ] [their] evils [G2556 ] . 13 The one who [G3739 ] shuts up [G5420 ] the [G3588 ] his ears [G3775 ] [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] to not [G3361 ] heed weak , even [G2532 ] himself [G1473 ] will call out [G1941 ] , and [G2532 ] there will not [G3756 ] be the [G3588 ] [one] listening [G1522 ] . 14 present [G1394 ] A private prostrates angers [G3709 ] ; gifts [G1435 ] but [G1161 ] the [G3588 ] [one] sparing [G5339 ] rage [G2372 ] will raise up [G1453 ] strong [G2478 ] . 15 [It is with] gladness [G2167 ] for just [G1342 ] to have [G4160 ] equity [G2917 ] ; but a sacred [man [G3741 ] [G1161 ] [is] unclean by [G3844 ] evildoers [G2557 ] . 16 A man wandering [G4105 ] from [G1537 ] way [G3598 ] of righteousness [G1343 ] in [G1722 ] gathering [G4864 ] of giants will rest . 17 A man lacking [G1729 ] , loves gladness [G2167 ] , being fond of [G5368 ] wine [G3631 ] and [G2532 ] oil [G1637 ] in [G1519 ] wealth [G4149 ] ; 18 and rubbish [G4027 ] [G1161 ] of just [G1342 ] [is] a lawless [man , and [G2532 ] for upright ones [G2117 ] a lawbreaker . 19 Better [G2908 ] to live [G3611 ] in [G1722 ] the [G3588 ] wilderness [G2048 ] than [G2228 ] with [G3326 ] a wife [G1135 ] being combative and [G2532 ] talkative and [G2532 ] prone to anger [G3711 ] . 20 treasure [G2344 ] A desirable will rest upon [G1909 ] mouth [G4750 ] of wise [G4680 ] ; but foolish [G1161 ] men will swallow [G2666 ] it [G1473 ] . 21 way [G3598 ] of righteousness [G1343 ] and [G2532 ] charity [G1654 ] will find [G2147 ] life [G2222 ] and [G2532 ] glory [G1391 ] . 22 cities [G4172 ] fortified mounts against [G1910 ] A wise [man [G4680 ] , and [G2532 ] demolishes [G2507 ] for the [G3588 ] tress [G3794 ] upon [G1909 ] which [G3739 ] relied upon [G3982 ] the [G3588 ] impious . 23 The one who [G3739 ] guards [G5442 ] the [G3588 ] mouth [G4750 ] of him [G1473 ] and [G2532 ] the [G3588 ] tongue [G1100 ] carefully keeps [G1301 ] from [G1537 ] affliction [G2347 ] the [G3588 ] his soul [G5590 ] [G1473 ] . 24 A bold and [G2532 ] self-willed and [G2532 ] ostentatious [man pestilent [G3061 ] is called [G2564 ] ; and the man who [G3739 ] [G1161 ] resents [is] a lawbreaker . 25 Desires [G1939 ] lazy [G3636 ] kill , to not [G3756 ] for [G1063 ] resolve [G4255 ] the [G3588 ] his hands [G5495 ] [G1473 ] do [G4160 ] anything [G5100 ] . 26 An impious man lusts [G1937 ] whole [G3650 ] the [G3588 ] day [G2250 ] lusts [G1939 ] evil [G2556 ] ; but the [G3588 ] [G1161 ] just one [G1342 ] [desires] compassion [G1656 ] , and [G2532 ] he pities [G3627 ] unsparingly . 27 Sacrifices [G2378 ] of impious [are] an abomination [to the] Boss '[G2962 ] ; for even [G2532 ] [G1063 ] unlawfully they bring [G4374 ] them [G1473 ] . 28 witness [G3144 ] A lying [G5571 ] will perish ; a man [who is] subject [G5255 ] guardedly [G5442 ] will speak [G2980 ] . 29 An impious man impudently stands in front [G4383 ] ; but the [G3588 ] [G1161 ] upright [man [G2117 ] himself [G1473 ] perceives [G4920 ] the [G3588 ] his ways [G3598 ] [G1473 ] . 30 There is no [G3756 ] wisdom [G4678 ] , there is no [G3756 ] courage , there is no [G3756 ] counsel [G1012 ] to [G4314 ] the [G3588 ] impious . 31 A horse [G2462 ] is prepared [G2090 ] for [G1519 ] a day [G2250 ] of battle [G4171 ] ; [is] by [G3844 ] but [G1161 ] Boss '[G2962 ] the [G3588 ] help .
