Proverbs 16:1-6

King James Version

16 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

² All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

³ Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

⁴ The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

⁵ Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
