Proverbs 16:1-6 (The Message)
View In My Bible
1
Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.
2
Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good; God probes for what is good.
3
Put God in charge of your work, then what you've planned will take place.
4
God made everything with a place and purpose; even the wicked are included - but for judgment.
5
God can't stomach arrogance or pretense; believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place.
6
Guilt is banished through love and truth; Fear-of-God deflects evil.
