1
The plans of the mind belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
2
All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit.
3
Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
4
The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.
5
Every one who is arrogant is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
6
By loyalty and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.
7
When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8
Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.
9
A man's mind plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
