Proverbs 16:1 - 16:2

The plans of the heart belong to man,

But the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

All the ways of a man are pure in his own sight,

But Yahweh weighs the motives.

Proverbs 16:4

Yahweh has made everything for its own purpose,

Even the wicked for the day of evil.

When a man’s ways are pleasing to Yahweh,

He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

The heart of man plans his way,

But Yahweh directs his steps.

A just balance and scales belong to Yahweh;

All the weights of the bag are His work.

The lot is cast into the lap,

But its every judgment is from Yahweh.
