1 The Lord can control a king’s mind as he controls a river;he can direct it as he pleases.
2 You may believe you are doing right,but the Lord judges your reasons.
3 Doing what is right and fairis more important to the Lord than sacrifices.
4 Proud looks, proud thoughts,and evil actions are sin.
5 The plans of hard-working people earn a profit,but those who act too quickly become poor.
