1 Ti puso ti ari ket kasla maysa a waig iti ima ni Yahweh; iturturongna ti danum iti sadinoman a kayatna.
Just as with the dividing of the waters, so also is the heart of the king in the hand of the Lord. He shall bend it whichever way he wills.

To do mercy and judgment is more pleasing to the Lord than sacrifices.
4 Ti kinatangsit ken kinapalangguad-nga arigna a silaw ti nadangkes-ket basol.
To lift up the eyes is to enlarge the heart. The lamp of the impious is sin.
