1 The intentions of the heart belong to a man,but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord.
2 All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion,but the Lord evaluates the motives.
3 Commit your works to the Lord,and your plans will be established.
4 The Lord works everything for its own ends – even the wicked for the day of disaster.
5 The Lord abhors every arrogant person;rest assured that they will not go unpunished.
6 Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased;through fearing the Lord one avoids evil.
7 When a person’s ways are pleasing to the Lord,he even reconciles his enemies to himself.
