Proverbs 21:2

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹ The king's heart in the hands of the Lord is like the water streams, and by him it is turned in any direction at his pleasure. ² Every way of a man seems right to himself, but the Lord is the tester of hearts. ³ To do what is right and true is more pleasing to the Lord than an offering.
