Proverbs 21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)21 The Lord can control a king’s mind as easily as he controls a river. 2 A person may believe he is doing right. 3 Do what is right and fair. 4 Proud looks, proud thoughts 5 Those who plan and work hard earn a profit. 6 Wealth that comes from telling lies 7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them 8 Guilty people live dishonest lives. 9 It is better to live in a corner on the roof[a] 10 An evil person only wants to harm others. 11 Punish a person who makes fun of wisdom, and he will become wise. 12 God, who is always right, sees the house of the wicked. 13 If you ignore the poor when they cry for help, 14 A gift given secretly will calm an angry man. 15 When things are done fairly, good people are happy, 16 A person who does not use understanding 17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor. 18 Wicked people will suffer instead of good people. 19 It is better to live alone in the desert 20 Wise people store up the best foods and olive oil. 21 A person who tries to live right and be loyal 22 A wise person can defeat a city full of strong men. 23 A person who is careful about what he says 24 People who act with stubborn pride 25 The lazy person’s desire for sleep will kill him 27 The Lord hates sacrifices made by evil people, 28 The words of a lying witness will die. 29 A wicked person is stubborn. 30 There is no wisdom, understanding or advice 31 You can get the horses ready for battle.
