Proverbs 16:1-11

1The plans of the heartH3820 belong to manH120; But the answerH4617 of the tongueH3956 is from Jehovah.2All the waysH1870 of a manH376 are clean in his own eyesH5869; But Jehovah weigheth the spiritsH7307.3Commit thy worksH4639 unto Jehovah, And thy purposes shall be establishedH3559.4Jehovah hath made everythingH3605 for its own end; Yea, even the wickedH7563 for the dayH3117 of evilH7451.5Every one that is proud in heartH3820 is an abominationH8441 to Jehovah: ThoughhandH3027joinin handH3027, he shall not be unpunishedH5352.6By mercy and truthH571 iniquityH5771 is atoned for; And by the fearH3374 of Jehovah men departH5493 from evilH7451.7When a man’sH376 waysH1870 please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemiesH341 to be at peace with him.8Better is a littleH4592, with righteousnessH6666, Than great revenues with injustice.9A man’sH120 heartH3820 deviseth his wayH1870; But Jehovah directeth his stepsH6806.10A divine sentenceH4941 is in the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428; His mouthH6310 shall not transgress in judgmentH4941.11A just balanceH6425 and scales are Jehovah’s; All the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639.
