1 Of man are the preparations of the heart, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 The Lord has made all things by himself, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; the covenant that he makes, shall not be without chastening.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
