1. The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand like the watercourses.He turns it wherever he desires.
2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,but the Lord weighs the hearts.
3. To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4. A high look, and a proud heart,the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5. The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
6. Getting treasures by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapour for those who seek death.
