Proverbs 21:1 in other translations
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
The king’s heart is a waterway in the hand of the LORD; He directs it where He pleases.
The king’s heart is in the LORD’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.
