1 The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the spirit.
3 Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
even the wicked for the day of trouble.
5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
be assured, he will not go unpunished.
6 By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord,
he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues with injustice.
9 The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.
10 An oracle is on the lips of a king;
his mouth does not sin in judgment.
11 A just balance and scales are the Lord’s;
all the weights in the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to do evil,
for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of a king,
and he loves him who speaks what is right.
14 A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
and a wise man will appease it.
15 In the light of a king’s face there is life,
and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold!
To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
17 The highway of the upright turns aside from evil;
whoever guards his way preserves his life.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor
than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good,
and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.
29 “Behold, God does all these things,
twice, three times, with a man,
12 So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
18 a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
1 The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
24 A man’s steps are from the Lord;
how then can man understand his way?
23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
when he delights in his way;
23 I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself,
that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
22 Without counsel plans fail,
but with many advisers they succeed.
4 May he grant you your heart’s desire
and fulfill all your plans!
8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
4 Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist.
29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
he is wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.
10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
