잠언 21장 NASB
- 1 The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.
- 2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes But the LORD weighs the hearts.
- 3 To do righteousness and justice Is desired by the LORD more than sacrifice.
- 4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart The lamp of the wicked is sin.
- 5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
- 6 The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor the pursuit of death.
- 7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away Because they refuse to act with justice.
- 8 The way of a guilty man is crooked But as for the pure his conduct is upright.
- 9 It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
- 10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
- 11 When the scoffer is punished the naive becomes wise; But when the wise is instructed he receives knowledge.
- 12 The righteous one considers the house of the wicked Turning the wicked to ruin.
- 13 He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be answered.
- 14 A gift in secret subdues anger And a bribe in the bosom strong wrath.
- 15 The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous But is terror to the workers of iniquity.
- 16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.
- 17 He who loves pleasure will become a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
- 18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous And the treacherous is in the place of the upright.
- 19 It is better to live in a desert land Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
- 20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise But a foolish man swallows it up.
- 21 He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life righteousness and honor.
- 22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
- 23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue Guards his soul from troubles.
- 24 "ProudHaughty Scoffer" are his names Who acts with insolent pride.
- 25 The desire of the sluggard puts him to death For his hands refuse to work;
- 26 All day long he is craving While the righteous gives and does not hold back.
- 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination How much more when he brings it with evil intent!
- 28 A false witness will perish But the man who listens to the truth will speak forever.
- 29 A wicked man displays a bold face But as for the upright he makes his way sure.
- 30 There is no wisdom and no understanding And no counsel against the LORD.
- 31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle But victory belongs to the LORD.
