Proverbs

¹The preparations of the heart belong to man: but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. ²All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes: but the LORD weigheth the spirits. ³Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. ⁴The LORD hath made every thing for its own end: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. ⁵Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. ⁶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
