“People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart.
The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just, than when we offer Him sacrifices.
Haughty eyes , a proud heart, and evil actions are all sin.
Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.” (vv 2-5)
“Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love will find life, righteousness, and honor.
The wise conquer the city of the strong and level the fortress in which they trust.
Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.” (vv. 21-23)
