| 21:1 | The king's heart in the hand of the LORD, the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. | |
| 21:2 | Every way of a man right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. | |
| 21:3 | To do justice and judgment more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. | |
| 21:4 | A high look, and a proud heart, the plowing of the wicked, sin. | |
| 21:5 | The thoughts of the diligent only to plenteousness; but of every one hasty only to want. | |
| 21:6 | The getting of treasures by a lying tongue a vanity tossed to and fro by them that seek death. | |
| 21:7 | The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment. | |
| 21:8 | The way of man froward and strange: but the pure, his work right. | |
| 21:9 | better to dwell in a corner of the house-top, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. | |
| 21:10 | The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes. | |
| 21:11 | When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. | |
| 21:12 | The righteous wisely considereth the house of the wicked: overthroweth the wicked for wickedness. | |
| 21:13 | Whoever stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. | |
| 21:14 | A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom, strong wrath. | |
| 21:15 | joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction to the workers of iniquity. | |
| 21:16 | The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. | |
| 21:17 | He that loveth pleasure a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. | |
| 21:18 | The wicked a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. | |
| 21:19 | better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. | |
| 21:20 | a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. | |
| 21:21 | He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honor. | |
| 21:22 | A wise scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of its confidence. | |
| 21:23 | Whoever keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. | |
| 21:24 | Proud haughty scorner his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. | |
| 21:25 | The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labor. | |
| 21:26 | He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not. | |
| 21:27 | The sacrifice of the wicked abomination: how much more, he bringeth it with a wicked mind? | |
| 21:28 | A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly. | |
| 21:29 | A wicked man hardeneth his face: but the upright, he directeth his way. | |
| 21:30 | no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. | |
| 21:31 | The horse prepared against the day of battle: but safety from the LORD. | |
