Proverbs
Chapter 21
1
The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah/God . . .
as
the rivers of water . . .
He
turns it whithersoever He will.
2
Every Way of a man is right in his own eyes . . .
but
Jehovah/God ponders the 'right lobes'/hearts.
3
To do justice and judgment
is
more acceptable to Jehovah/God than sacrifice.
4
An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked,
is
sin.
5
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness . . .
but
of every one that is hasty only to want.
6
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is
a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
7
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them . . .
because
they refuse to do judgment.
8
The way of man is crooked/distorted and strange . . .
but
as for the pure, His work is right.
9
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop,
than
with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10

his
neighbor finds no grace/favor in his eyes.
11
When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise . . .
and
when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

and
a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

16
The man who wanders out of the Way of understanding
shall
remain in the congregation of the dead.

he
who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
18
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous . . .
and
the transgressor for the upright.
{Comparative
Distich}
19~~Better
to live alone in the desert . . .
than
with a quarrelsome/contentious
and
'bad tempered'/maladjusted woman/wife.
20
There is treasure to be desired
and
oil in the dwelling of the wise . . .
but
a foolish man spends it up.
21 He who follows after righteousness and mercy finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22
A wise man scales the city of the mighty,
and
casts down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23
Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue
keeps
his soul from troubles.

who
deals in proud wrath.

The desire of the slothful kills him . . .
for
his hands refuse to labor.

but
the righteous gives and spares not.
27
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination . . .
how
much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind?
28
A false witness shall perish . . .
but
the man who hears . . . speaks constantly.
29-31~~
A reversionist hardens his face,
but
one who is upright {super grace},
proves
his way. 30~~
For
the super grace believer there is no wisdom,
nor
understanding,
nor
counsel
against
Jehovah/God. 31~~
The
horse is prepared for the day of battle,
but
victory belongs to Jehovah/God.
