  Commentary on Proverbs 21:2

  (Read Proverbs 21:2)

  We are partial in judging ourselves and our actions.

  Proverbs 21:2 In-Context

  1 In the Lord's hand the king's heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.

  2 A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.

  3 To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

  4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart- the unplowed field of the wicked-produce sin.

  5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
