^26 [a]Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be ordered aright.

²⁷ Turn not to the right hand, nor to the left, but remove thy foot from evil.

²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are abomination to the Lord: but the pure have ^[a]pleasant words.

² All the ways of a man are ^[a]clean in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the spirits.

⁹ The heart of ^[a]man purposeth his way: but the Lord doth direct his steps.

^25 (A)There is a way that seemeth right unto man, but the issue thereof are the ways of death.

³³ The lot is cast into the lap: but the whole disposition thereof is ^[a]of the Lord.

² For without knowledge the mind is not good, and he that hasteth with his feet, sinneth.

²¹ Many devices are in a ^[a]man’s heart: but the counsel of the Lord shall stand.

²² Say not thou, ^(A)I will recompense evil, but wait upon the Lord, and he shall save thee.

²⁷ The ^(A)sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
