1The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the motives.
3Commit your deeds to the LORD, and your plans shall succeed.
4The LORD has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; they shall certainly not be unpunished.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.
9A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD directs his steps.
10Inspired judgements are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth.
