American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses:He turneth it whithersoever he will.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes;But Jehovah weighteth the hearts.
To do righteousness and justiceIs more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.
A high look, and a proud heart, {Or, And the tillage}Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongueIs a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.
The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away,Because they refuse to do justice.
The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked;But as for the pure, his work is {Or, straight}right.
