1As partings of waters, so the heart of the king is in the power of the Lord; whither ever he will, he shall bow it.
2Each way of a man seemeth rightful or right to himself; but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
3To do mercy and doom, pleaseth more the Lord, than sacrifices.
4Enhancing of eyes is the alarging of the heart; the lantern of wicked men is sin.
