All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the Lord weighs the heart. | A man’s ways may seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart. |
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. | To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. |

Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor. | Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor too. |
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back. | All day long the godless man continues to covet, whereas the righteous man gives unsparingly. |
