In context
1 [Like] channels of water, is the heart of a king, in the hand of Yahweh,—whithersoever he will, he turneth it.
2 Every way of a man, may be right in his own eyes, but, he that testeth hearts, is Yahweh.
3 To do righteousness and justice, is more choice to Yahweh than sacrifice.
4 Loftiness of eyes, and ambition of heart—the lamp of the lawless, are sin.
5 The plans of the diligent, tend only to abundance, but, of every one that is urgent, only to want.
6 The gaining of treasures with a tongue of falsehood, is a vapour driven away, [they who seek them] seek death,
7 The violence of the lawless, shall drag them away,—because they have refused to do justice.
