Proverb Chapter 21

Prov 21

Proverb of Solomon continues...

1 The mind/heart of the king should be in the hand Jehovah, but like water in a channel, he can spread/tilt towards his own will/desires:

2 If the way of a man is upright in his own eyes, the design-plan of his core-heart has been from Jehovah.

3 I will choose the verdicts of Jehovah on righteousness rather than making animal-sacrifices:

4 (because) rising to loftiness of eyes (for lasting dynasty), and broadening (rahab) of the mind/heart (as fallow ground) for habitual-sins, are of the wicked-men: 

5 where thoughts of deficiency/poverty is ok/permitted, to hasten-up/press every ounce of steps -will be of the diligent/hardworking person.

6 all acts upon lies that will scatter away things in the treasure and the tongue that will seek after vanity are of the place of death;

7 Robbery by dragging away things of those that refuses to do their verdicts is of the wicked.

8 A man in a strange way will be frivolous and frickle, - but the deeds of the Upright will be clean:

9 it is good to sit down at the corner of the roof in a house, rather than being with a wife/woman who is a member of club who are into matters of law/judgment. (Prov 25:24) 

10 the wicked wishes his neighbors evil -when all eyes should show mercy to souls. 

11 Mockers should be penalized, - so that the simple/gullible will be wise and the wise will (always) act intelligently because they have received knowledge.

12 the Righteous will act intelligently towards his households; but the wicked person is evil, and the same wicked-person will subvert/twist them.

13 the Poor that call out will be answered but ears will be closed to screaming.

14 A bribe in the secret-place and a gift from someone who is on your bosom, will compel you to be harsh with heat/fury and anger.

15 the Righteous will do the verdicts with joy - rather than exerting himself to practice things unto ruins.

16 Adam went astray from the way of acting intelligently and had settled down in the assembly of wraith/ghosts:

17 A man who love joy/gladness but is in poverty should also love to be made rich in wine and oil.

18 the Righteous and the Upright will be ransomed, but the wicked will act deceitfully:

19 It is good to sit down in a land of desert, rather than, with vexation of a wife/woman who is into matters from law/judgment.

20 A wise-man take delight in the treasure/store-house of oil in his habitation, - but a fool like Adam will make away with it/swallow it up:

21 If you run after kindness in righteousness, you will find Life and Glory in righteousness.

22 When the Wise ascend/mount up to be the insurer of a city, all the tyrants with their great-strength will descend.

23 If you preserve your mouth and tongue, your soul will be preserved from trouble:

24 The arrogant who mock HIS Name and the Proud-person who also carry out intentional wrongdoings are in transgression/going beyond limits.

25 A lazy person will die with his longings because he refuses to do things with his hands.  

26 the longing of the Righteous could be granted and could be withheld, if he is only wishing for it all day:

27 the animal-sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, how much more, when he comes with a negative-plan?

28 A false Witness will perish, but the man with a target/end goal will speak/rehearse things as he heard them:

29 The face of a wicked man wil be hardened to an Upright man, but a man who understand things will be established in his way:

30 Wisdom and insight/discernment and counsel, are from Jehovah:

31 Horses are prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is from Jehovah.
