2 All a man’s ways are right in his own eyes, But יהוה weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and right-ruling Is more acceptable to יהוה than a slaughtering.
4 A haughty look, a proud heart, The lamp of the wrong, are sin.
5 The plans of the hard worker lead only to plenty, But all rash haste only to poverty.
6 Gaining treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapour, heading for death.
7 The spoil of the wrong catches them, Because they refused to do right- ruling.
8 The way of a guilty man is perverse; But as for the innocent, his work is right.
