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.
