The king’s heart is in the LORD’s hand like the watercourses.
He turns it wherever he desires.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts.
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
A high look and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
