(A)All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
    but the Lord (B)weighs the spirit.[a]
(C)Commit your work to the Lord,
    and your plans will be established.
(D)The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
    even (E)the wicked for the day of trouble.
Everyone who is arrogant in heart is (F)an abomination to the Lord;
    (G)be assured, he will not go unpunished.
By (H)steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
    and by (I)the fear of the Lord one (J)turns away from evil.
When a man's ways please the Lord,
    (K)he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
