Proverbi 16:1-6

1 All’uomo, i disegni del cuore; ma la risposta della lingua vien dall’Eterno.

2 Tutte le vie dell’uomo a lui sembran pure, ma l’Eterno pesa gli spiriti.

3 Rimetti le cose tue nell’Eterno, e i tuoi disegni avran buona riuscita.

4 L’Eterno ha fatto ogni cosa per uno scopo; anche l’empio, per il dì della sventura.

5 Chi è altero d’animo è in abominio all’Eterno; certo è che non rimarrà impunito.

6 Con la bontà e con la fedeltà l’iniquità si espia, e col timor dell’Eterno si evita il male.
