Every person’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord examines the hearts. | All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the Lord weighs the heart. |
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. | Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor. |
All day long he is craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back. | All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back. |
