2 ^aEvery way of a man is right in his own eyes,
^bBut the Lord weighs the hearts.

3 ^aTo do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4 ^aA haughty look, a proud heart,
And the¹ plowing of the wicked are sin.

5 ^aThe plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty,
But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

6 ^aGetting treasures by a lying tongue
¹Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.
