Proverbs 16
1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit.
3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
