PROVERBS 16:1-7

¹The preparations 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 weigheth the spirits.

³Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

⁴The LORD hath made every thing for its own end: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

⁵Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

⁶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

⁷When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
