1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord as the watercourses: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4 An high look, and a proud heart, even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness: but every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.
