Proverbs 16:1-11

1The preparations of the heartH3820 belong to manH120: but the answerH4617 of the tongueH3956 is from the LORDH3068.

2AllH3605 the waysH1870 of a manH376 are cleanH2134 in his ownH376 eyesH5869: but the LORDH3068 weigheth the spiritsH7307.

3CommitH1556 thy worksH4639 unto the LORDH3068, and thy thoughtsH4284 shall be establishedH3559.

4The LORDH3068 hath madeH6466 everyH3605 thingH7451 for itsH3605 own end: yea, evenH1571 the wickedH7563 for the dayH3117 of evilH7451.

5EveryH3605 one that is proud in heartH3820 is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: though handH3027 join in handH3027, he shall notH3808 be unpunishedH5352.

6By mercyH3068 and truthH571 iniquityH5771 is purged: and by the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 men departH5493 from evilH7451.

7When a man’sH376 waysH1870 pleaseH7521 the LORDH3068, he maketh evenH1571 his enemiesH341 to be at peace with him.

8BetterH2896 is a littleH4592 with righteousnessH6666 thanH3808 greatH7230 revenues with injustice.

9A man’sH120 heartH3820 deviseth his wayH1870: but the LORDH3068 directeth his stepsH6806.

10A divineH7081 sentenceH4941 is in the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 shall notH3808 transgress in judgmentH4941.

11A justH4941 balanceH6425 and scalesH3976 are the LORD’SH3068: allH3605 the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639.
