Proverbs 21:4 Context
2Euery way of a man is right in his owne eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. 3To doe iustice and iudgement, is more acceptable to the Lord, then sacrifice. 4An high looke, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sinne. 5The thoughts of the diligent tend onely to plenteousnes: but of euery one that is hastie, onely to want. 6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue, is a vanitie tossed to and fro of them that seeke death.

Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 21:4
21:4 The plowing - Even their civil or natural actions, which in themselves are lawful, are made sinful as they are managed by ungodly men, without any regard to the glory of God, which ought to be the end of all our actions.
