Proverbs 21:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
On Life and Conduct
21 The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord;
He (A)turns it wherever He wishes.
2 (B)Every man’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord (C)weighs the hearts.
3 To do (D)righteousness and justice
Is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:1-3

that he channels toward all who please him.(A)

but the Lord weighs the heart.(B)
3 To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.(C)
