1The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.

2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.

3To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

4A high look, and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

5The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
