²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
    but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

² All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the spirit.

⁹ A man’s heart devises his way,
    but the Lord directs his steps.

²⁵ There is a way that seems right to a man,
    but its end is the way of death.

³³ The lot is cast into the lap,
    but the whole outcome is of the Lord.

² Also, it is not good for the soul to be without knowledge,
    and he who hastens with his feet sins.

²¹ There are many plans in a man’s heart,
    nevertheless the counsel of the Lord will stand.

²² Do not say, “I will recompense evil”;
    but wait on the Lord, and He will save you.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
    how much more when he brings it with a wicked intent!
