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 haughty look, a proud heart,And the plowing of the wicked are sin.
5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty,But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.
6 Getting treasures by a lying tongueIs the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.
7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them,Because they refuse to do justice.
8 The way of a guilty man is perverse;But as for the pure, his work is right.
