1 The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes.
2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice Is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.
4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart, The lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
