1 COMO los repartimientos de las aguas, así está el corazón del rey en la mano de Jehová: á todo lo que quiere lo inclina.
2 Todo camino del hombre es recto en su opinión: mas Jehová pesa los corazones.
3 Hacer justicia y juicio es á Jehová más agradable que sacrificio.
4 Altivez de ojos, y orgullo de corazón, y el brillo de los impíos, son pecado.
5 Los pensamientos del solícito ciertamente [van] á abundancia; mas todo presuroso, indefectiblemente á pobreza.
