Proverbs 16:1-7

¹The plans of the heart belong to a person, but from Yahweh comes the answer from his tongue.

²All of a person's ways are pure in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the spirits.

³Commit your works to Yahweh and your plans will succeed.

⁴Yahweh has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.

⁵Yahweh hates everyone who has an arrogant heart, but be sure of this, they will not go unpunished.

⁶By covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness iniquity is atoned for and by the fear of Yahweh people turn away from evil.

⁷When a person's ways are pleasing to Yahweh, he makes even that person's enemies to be at peace with him.
