A man’s ways may seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart. | Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts. |
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. | To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice. |
|
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor too. | He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor. |
All day long the godless man continues to covet, whereas the righteous man gives unsparingly. | There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold. |
