King James Version

Proverbs 16:1-6 King James Version (KJV)

1. 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.

3. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

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

5. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
