In context
1 Rivulets of waters is the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering hearts.
3 To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.
4 Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, Tillage of the wicked is sin.
5 The purposes of the diligent are only to advantage, And of every hasty one, only to want.
6 The making of treasures by a lying tongue, Is a vanity driven away of those seeking death.
