“To do righteousness and judgment, || Is chosen of YHWH rather than sacrifice.”— Proverbs 21:3 (LSV)
1The heart of a king [is] streams of waters in the hand of YHWH, || He inclines it wherever He pleases.
2Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes, || And YHWH is pondering hearts.
3To do righteousness and judgment, || Is chosen of YHWH rather than sacrifice.
4Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, || Tillage of the wicked [is] sin.
5The purposes of the diligent [are] only to advantage, || And of every hasty one, only to want.
6The making of treasures by a lying tongue, || [Is] a vanity driven away of those seeking death.
