1. The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord,Like the rivers of water;He turns it wherever He wishes.
2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,But the Lord weighs the hearts.
3. To do righteousness and justiceIs more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4. A haughty look, a proud heart,And the plowing of the wicked are sin.
5. The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty,But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.
