Proverbs 21:1-7 New International Version (NIV)
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.
6 A fortune made by a lying tongue
is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.[a]
7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away,
for they refuse to do what is right.
Though God, our Creator has an absolute control over all the workings of our minds, yet we are conscious that we are free in all our plans and actions. We have to do what is right and fair; that pleases the Lord more than bringing him sacrifices.

MITHALI 21:1-7
1Moyo wa mfalme huwa katika mkono wa Bwana; Kama mifereji ya maji huugeuza po pote apendapo.
2 Kila njia ya mtu ni sawa machoni pake mwenyewe; Bali Bwana huipima mioyo.
3 Kutenda haki na hukumu Humpendeza Bwana kuliko kutoa sadaka.
4 Macho yenye kiburi, na moyo wa kutakabari, Hata ukulima wa waovu, ni dhambi.
5 Mawazo ya wenye bidii huuelekea utajiri tu; Bali kila mwenye pupa huuelekea uhitaji.
6 Kupata akiba ya mali kwa ulimi wa uongo Ni moshi upeperushwao; ni kutafuta mauti.
7 Jeuri ya wabaya itawaondolea mbali; Kwa sababu wamekataa kutenda hukumu.
Ingawa Mungu, muumbaji wetu anayo mamlaka juu ya mipango yetu yote, ni vyema tufahamu kuwa tumepewa hiari ya kupanga na kutenda. Imetupasa kutenda yaliyo mema na ya haki; yanayompendeza yeye, kuliko kumtolea dhabihu.
