1 We may make our plans, but God has the last word.

1 To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the proper answer of the tongue.

2 You may think everything you do is right, but the Lord judges your motives.

2 All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD.

3 Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.

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

4 Everything the Lord has made has its destiny; and the destiny of the wicked is destruction.

4 The LORD works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster.

5 The Lord hates everyone who is arrogant; he will never let them escape punishment.

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

6 Be loyal and faithful, and God will forgive your sin. Obey the Lord and nothing evil will happen to you.

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