Proverbs 21:30

The LORD Weighs the Heart: Justice, Righteousness, Pride, Diligence, and the Limits of Human Strength

The chapter moves from the LORD's sovereignty over kings and hearts, to justice over sacrifice, to diligence and dishonest gain, to household conflict and wicked desire, to mercy and justice, to speech, generosity, false witness, and finally to the LORD's supremacy over every human plan and battle.
