16 The plans of the heart belong to man,
    but (A)the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

    but the Lord (C)weighs the spirit.[a]
3 (D)Commit your work to the Lord,
    and your plans will be established.
4 (E)The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
    even (F)the wicked for the day of trouble.
