5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?
7A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
8A king who sits on the throne of judgement scatters away all evil with his eyes.
9Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?”
10Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
11Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, The LORD has made even both of them.
13Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
14“It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
