1 [Como] ribeiros de águas é o coração do rei na mão do SENHOR, ele o conduz para onde quer.
2 Todo caminho do homem é correto aos seus [próprios] olhos; mas o SENHOR pesa os corações.
3 Praticar justiça e juízo é mais aceitável ao SENHOR do que sacrifício.
4 Olhos orgulhosos e coração arrogante: a lavoura dos perversos é pecado.
5 Os planos de quem trabalha com empenho somente [levam] à abundância; mas [os de] todo apressado somente à pobreza.
