Proverbs 16:1-9

1 To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.

2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.


3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.


4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends—even the wicked for a day of disaster.


5 The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.


6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.


7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.


8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.


9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
