Prv 16:1-9
1Plans are made in human hearts,
but from the LORD comes the tongue’s response.*
2All one’s ways are pure* in one’s own eyes,
but the measurer of motives is the LORD.a
3Entrust your works to the LORD,
and your plans will succeed.
4The LORD has made everything for a purpose,
even the wicked for the evil day.*
5Every proud heart* is an abomination to the LORD;b
be assured that none will go unpunished.
6By steadfast loyalty guilt is expiated,
and by the fear of the LORD evil is avoided.*
7When the LORD is pleased with someone’s ways,
he makes even enemies be at peace with them.
8Better a little with justice,
than a large income with injustice.
9The human heart plans the way,
