1. 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, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only 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.
