21 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

²¹ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

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

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

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

²³ Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

²⁸ For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

²² And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
