Proverbs 16:1-5

¹It pertaineth to man to make ready the soul; and it pertaineth to the Lord to govern the tongue.

²All the ways of men be open to the eyes of God; the Lord is a weigher of spirits, that is, of wills, yielding to man after his deservings.

³Show thy works to the Lord; and thy thoughts shall be addressed.

⁴The Lord wrought all things for himself; and he made ready a wicked man to the evil day.

⁵Abomination of the Lord is each proud man; yea, though the hand is to the hand, he shall not be innocent. The beginning of the good way is to do rightwiseness; forsooth it is more acceptable with God, than to offer sacrifices.
