Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. | A man’s ways may seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart. |
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. | To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. |
|
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. | Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor too. |
He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not. | All day long the godless man continues to covet, whereas the righteous man gives unsparingly. |
