2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.
3. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.
4. A high look, and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5. The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
6. Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
