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.

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

⁷ When a man’s ways please the Lord,
    he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

⁹ A man’s heart deviseth his way:
    but the Lord directeth his steps.

¹¹ A just weight and balance are the Lord’s:
    all the weights of the bag are his work.
