Proverbs Chapter 21 - King James Strong Number Version

1: The king's <H4428> heart <H3820> [is] in the hand <H3027> of the LORD, <H3068> [as] the rivers <H6388> of water: <H4325> he turneth <H5186> it whithersoever he will. <H2654>
2: Every way <H1870> of a man <H0376> [is] right <H3477> in his own eyes: <H5869> but the LORD <H3068> pondereth <H8505> the hearts. <H3826>
3: To do <H6213> justice <H6666> and judgment <H4941> [is] more acceptable <H0977> to the LORD <H3068> than sacrifice. <H2077>
4: An high <H7312> look, <H5869> and a proud <H7342> heart, <H3820> [and] the plowing <H5215> of the wicked, <H7563> [is] sin. <H2403>
5: The thoughts <H4284> of the diligent <H2742> [tend] only to plenteousness; <H4195> but of every one [that is] hasty <H0213> only to want. <H4270>
6: The getting <H6467> of treasures <H0214> by a lying <H8267> tongue <H3956> [is] a vanity <H1892> tossed to and fro <H5086> of them that seek <H1245> death. <H4194>
7: The robbery <H7701> of the wicked <H7563> shall destroy <H1641> them; because they refuse <H3985> to do <H6213> judgment. <H4941>
8: The way <H1870> of man <H0376> [is] froward <H2019> and strange: <H2054> but [as for] the pure, <H2134> his work <H6467> [is] right. <H3477>
9: [It is] better <H2896> to dwell <H3427> in a corner <H6438> of the housetop, <H1406> than with a brawling <H4079> <H4066> woman <H0802> in a wide <H2267> house. <H1004>
10: The soul <H5315> of the wicked <H7563> desireth <H0183> evil: <H7451> his neighbour <H7453> findeth no favour <H2603> in his eyes. <H5869>
11: When the scorner <H3887> is punished, <H6064> the simple <H6612> is made wise: <H2449> and when the wise <H2450> is instructed, <H7919> he receiveth <H3947> knowledge. <H1847>
12: The righteous <H6662> [man] wisely considereth <H7919> the house <H1004> of the wicked: <H7563> [but God] overthroweth <H5557> the wicked <H7563> for [their] wickedness. <H7451>
13: Whoso stoppeth <H0331> his ears <H0241> at the cry <H2201> of the poor, <H1800> he also shall cry <H7121> himself, but shall not be heard. <H6030>
14: A gift <H4976> in secret <H5643> pacifieth <H3711> anger: <H0639> and a reward <H7810> in the bosom <H2436> strong <H5794> wrath. <H2534>
15: [It is] joy <H8057> to the just <H6662> to do <H6213> judgment: <H4941> but destruction <H4288> [shall be] to the workers <H6466> of iniquity. <H0205>
16: The man <H0120> that wandereth <H8582> out of the way <H1870> of understanding <H7919> shall remain <H5117> in the congregation <H6951> of the dead. <H7496>
17: He that loveth <H0157> pleasure <H8057> [shall be] a poor <H4270> man: <H0376> he that loveth <H0157> wine <H3196> and oil <H8081> shall not be rich. <H6238>
18: The wicked <H7563> [shall be] a ransom <H3724> for the righteous, <H6662> and the transgressor <H0898> for the upright. <H3477>
19: [It is] better <H2896> to dwell <H3427> in the wilderness, <H0776> <H4057> than with a contentious <H4079> <H4066> and an angry <H3708> woman. <H0802>
20: [There is] treasure <H0214> to be desired <H2530> and oil <H8081> in the dwelling <H5116> of the wise; <H2450> but a foolish <H3684> man <H0120> spendeth it up. <H1104>
21: He that followeth <H7291> after righteousness <H6666> and mercy <H2617> findeth <H4672> life, <H2416> righteousness, <H6666> and honour. <H3519>
22: A wise <H2450> [man] scaleth <H5927> the city <H5892> of the mighty, <H1368> and casteth down <H3381> the strength <H5797> of the confidence <H4009> thereof.
23: Whoso keepeth <H8104> his mouth <H6310> and his tongue <H3956> keepeth <H8104> his soul <H5315> from troubles. <H6869>
24: Proud <H2086> [and] haughty <H3093> scorner <H3887> [is] his name, <H8034> who dealeth <H6213> in proud <H2087> wrath. <H5678>
25: The desire <H8378> of the slothful <H6102> killeth <H4191> him; for his hands <H3027> refuse <H3985> to labour. <H6213>
26: He coveteth <H0183> greedily <H8378> all the day <H3117> long: but the righteous <H6662> giveth <H5414> and spareth <H2820> not.
27: The sacrifice <H2077> of the wicked <H7563> [is] abomination: <H8441> how much more, [when] he bringeth <H0935> it with a wicked mind? <H2154>
28: A false <H3577> witness <H5707> shall perish: <H0006> but the man <H0376> that heareth <H8085> speaketh <H1696> constantly. <H5331>
29: A wicked <H7563> man <H0376> hardeneth <H5810> his face: <H6440> but [as for] the upright, <H3477> he directeth <H0995> his way. <H1870>
30: [There is] no wisdom <H2451> nor understanding <H8394> nor counsel <H6098> against the LORD. <H3068>
31: The horse <H5483> [is] prepared <H3559> against the day <H3117> of battle: <H4421> but safety <H8668> [is] of the LORD. <H3068>
