1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water, he turns it wherever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4 A high look and a proud heart, which is the fire of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness, but of every one that is too hasty, only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of those that seek death.
