Every person’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord examines the hearts. | Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. |
To do righteousness and justice Is preferred by the Lord more than sacrifice. | To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. |
|
One who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness, and honor. | He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness, and honor. |
All day long he is craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back. | He covets greedily all day long, But the righteous gives and does not spare. |
