211 The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses.
He turns it wherever he desires.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 21:1

Commentary on Proverbs 21:1

(Read Proverbs 21:1)

The believer, perceiving that the Lord rules every heart as he sees fit, like the husbandman who turns the water through his grounds as he pleases, seeks to have his own heart, and the hearts of others, directed in his faith, fear, and love.
