Proverbs 16:1-6 World English Bible (WEB)

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

2. All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.

3. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

4. Yahweh has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5. Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh: they shall certainly not be unpunished.

6. By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
