Proverbs Chapter 21
21:2-4
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

21:9
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
21:17
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
21:21-22
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
21:31
The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.
