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