Proverbs 21:2, 6, 12, 15-16, 18, 21

Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs and examines the hearts [of people and their motives]. [Prov 24:12; Luke 16:15]

Acquiring treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the seeking and pursuit of death.

The righteous one keeps an eye on the house of the wicked— How the wicked are cast down to ruin.

When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous (the upright, the one in right standing with God), But to the evildoers it is disaster. A man who wanders from the way of understanding (godly wisdom) Will remain in the assembly of the dead.

The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous in the place of the upright [for they fall into their own traps].

He who earnestly seeks righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness, and honor. [Prov 15:9; Matt 5:6]
