²⁶ Evil plans are an abomination to the Lord,
But pleasant words are pure.

² All the ways of a person are clean in his own sight,
But the ^(A)Lord examines the ^[a]motives.

⁹ The mind of a ^(A)person plans his way,
But ^(B)the Lord directs his steps.

^25 (A)There is a way which seems right to a person,
But its end is the way of death.

³³ The ^(A)lot is cast into the lap,
But its every ^(B)decision is from the Lord.

² Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,
And one who hurries ^[a](A)his footsteps ^[b]errs.

²¹ Many ^(A)plans are in a person’s heart,
But the ^(B)advice of the Lord will stand.

^22 (A)Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
^(B)Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.
