The king’s heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will.
2
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.
3
To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.
4
A high look, and a proud heart, Eventhe lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hastyhastethonly to want.
6
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.
7
The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.
8
