Proverbs 21:1


Proverbs 20:30 Proverbs 21:1 (KJV) Proverbs 21:2
The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so [do] stripes the inward parts of the belly.
The king's heart [is] in the hand of the LORD, [as] the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
