Proverbs 21:1-3
American Standard Version
21 The king’s heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses:
He turneth it whithersoever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes;
But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:1-3

but the Lord weighs the heart.(B)

is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.(C)
