1 A king’s heart is like a stream of water in the hand of Adonai; he directs it wherever He wants.
2 All a man’s ways seem right in his own eyes, but Adonai weighs the heart.
3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Adonai than sacrifice.
4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the lamp of the wicked is sin.
5 Plans of the diligent surely lead to gain, but all who are hasty come only to loss.
