1
The designs of the heart are man's, but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord.
2
All a man's ways are clean to himself; but the Lord puts men's spirits into his scales.
3
Put your works into the hands of the Lord, and your purposes will be made certain.
4
The Lord has made everything for his purpose, even the sinner for the day of evil.
5
Everyone who has pride in his heart is disgusting to the Lord: he will certainly not go free from punishment.
6
By mercy and good faith evil-doing is taken away: and by the fear of the Lord men are turned away from evil.
