Proverbs 16:1-11

1The preparationsH4633 of the heartH3820 belong to manH120, and the answerH4617 of the tongueH3956, is from the LORDH3068.1

2All the waysH1870 of a manH376 are cleanH2134 in his own eyesH5869; but the LORDH3068 weighethH8505 the spiritsH7307.

3CommitH1556 thy worksH4639 to the LORDH3068, and thy thoughtsH4284 shall be establishedH3559.2

4The LORDH3068 hath madeH6466 all things for himselfH4617: yea, even the wickedH7563 for the dayH3117 of evilH7451.

5Every one that isproudH1362 in heartH3820 is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: though handH3027 join in handH3027, he shall not be unpunishedH5352.3

6By mercyH2617 and truthH571 iniquityH5771 is purgedH3722: and by the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 men departH5493 from evilH7451.

7When a man’sH376 waysH1870 pleaseH7521 the LORDH3068, he maketh even his enemiesH341 to be at peaceH7999 with him.

8BetterH2896is a littleH4592 with righteousnessH6666 than greatH7230 revenuesH8393 without rightH4941.

9A man’sH120 heartH3820 devisethH2803 his wayH1870: but the LORDH3068 directethH3559 his stepsH6806.

10A divine sentenceH7081is in the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 transgressethH4603 not in judgmentH4941.4

11A justH4941 weightH6425 and balanceH3976 are the LORD’SH3068: all the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639.5
