Proverbs 21:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Every man’s lifestyle is proper in his own view,
but the Lord weighs the heart.
3 To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4 A proud attitude,[a] accompanied by[b] a haughty look, is sin;
they reveal[c] wicked people.
