Proverbs 16:1-10

1. 1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

2. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

3. 3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

4. 4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5. 5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6. 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

7. 7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8. 8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

9. 9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

10. 10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
