Proverbs 16:1

WYC

NIV

1 It pertaineth to man to make ready the soul; and it pertaineth to the Lord to govern the tongue. (Each person must prepare their own soul, or their own life; but it is God who governeth their tongue, or telleth them what to say.)
1 To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the proper answer of the tongue.
