2 ¹Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD ²weighs the heart.

3 ³To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4 ⁴Haughty eyes and a proud heart, ⁵the lamp^a of the wicked, are sin.

5 The plans of ⁶the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is ⁷hasty comes ⁸only to poverty.

6 ⁹The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a ¹⁰fleeting ¹¹vapor and a ¹²snare of death.^b

7 The violence of the wicked will ¹³sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just.

8 The way of the guilty ¹⁴is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9 It is ¹⁵better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

11 When ¹⁶a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12 The Righteous One ¹⁷observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.

13 ¹⁸Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.

14 ¹⁹A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe,^c strong wrath.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous ²⁰but terror to evildoers.

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense ²¹will rest in the assembly of the dead.

17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 ²²The wicked is a ²³ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

19 It is ²⁴better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20 ²⁵Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man ²⁶devours it.

21 Whoever ²⁷pursues righteousness and kindness will find ²⁸life, righteousness, and honor.

22 ²⁹A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 ³⁰Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue ³¹keeps himself out of ³²trouble.

24 ³³"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of ³⁴the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26 All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous ³⁵gives and does not hold back.

27 ³⁶The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more ³⁷when he brings it with evil intent.

28 ³⁸A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.

29 A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright ³⁹gives thought to^d his ways.

30 ⁴⁰No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the LORD.

31 ⁴¹The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but ⁴²the victory belongs to the LORD.

Provérbios 21:2 Todo caminho do homem é reto aos seus olhos; mas o Senhor pesa os corações.

Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
