The wise of heart know time and course of things,
And incline to right, but the fool's, to left;
Follow your heart's ways but God will judge you;
Banish anxiety from your heart and live.
Heart of fools is in the house of pleasure;
Bribe corrupts hearts, ill-gotten treasure;
Within your heart, you curse others a lot;
By mouth, they speak well but hearts, evil plot!
Human hearts are conceived in lies;
A deluded heart misleads the Lord;
Take God's commands to heart if you are wise;
Revive the contrite heart and keep near God.
‘Circumcise your hearts, you people, ' says Lord.
Accursed is man whose heart's away from God;
Extol the Lord with all your heart and see;
The Lord tests hearts and minds of every man.
The Lord detests all those with perverse hearts;
Though man plans in the heart, God sets the steps;
Like gold by furnace, Lord tests human hearts;
Let heart not rejoice when your foes stumble!
Seven abominations fill man's heart!
God has set eternity in the heart;
A sadder face is better for the heart;
Death is human destiny, take to heart.
