1. The Lord controls the mind of a king as easily as he directs the course of a stream.
2. You may think that everything you do is right, but remember that the Lord judges your motives.
3. Do what is right and fair; that pleases the Lord more than bringing him sacrifices.
4. Wicked people are controlled by their conceit and arrogance, and this is sinful.
5. Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough.
6. The riches you get by dishonesty soon disappear, but not before they lead you into the jaws of death.
7. The wicked are doomed by their own violence; they refuse to do what is right.
