1 To humans belong the plans of the heart,but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
2 All a person’s ways seem pure to them,but motives are weighed by the Lord.
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,and he will establish your plans.
4 The Lord works out everything to its proper end –even the wicked for a day of disaster.
5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart.Be sure of this: they will not go unpunished.
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
