Proverbs 21:1-3
New Life Version
21 The heart of the king is like rivers of water in the hand of the Lord. He turns it where He wishes.
2 Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord knows the hearts.
3 To do what is right and good and fair is more pleasing to the Lord than gifts given on the altar in worship.
