Proverbs 16:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. The plans of the heart belong to man,but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

2. All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,but the Lord weighs the spirit.

3. Commit your work to the Lord,and your plans will be established.

4. The Lord has made everything for its purpose,even the wicked for the day of trouble.

5. Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
