Proverbs 16:1-11

1The plans of the heart belong to man, but the reply of the tongue is from the LORD.

2All a man’s ways are pure in his own eyes,but his motives are weighed out by the LORD.
3Commit your works to the LORDand your plans will be achieved.
4The LORD has made everything for His purpose—even the wicked for the day of disaster.
5Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD;be assured that he will not go unpunished.
6By loving devotion and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,and by the fear of the LORD one turns aside from evil.
7When a man’s ways please the LORD,He makes even the man’s enemies live at peace with him.
8Better a little with righteousnessthan great gain with injustice.
9A man’s heart plans his course,but the LORD determines his steps.
10A divine verdict is on the lips of a king;his mouth must not betray justice.
11Honest scales and balances are from the LORD;all the weights in the bag are His concern.
