✧1The plans of the heart belong to man; But the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah. ✧2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the spirits. ✧3Commit thy works unto Jehovah, And thy purposes shall be established. ✧4Jehovah hath made everything for its own end; Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. ✧5Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah: [Though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished. ✧6By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for; And by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil. ✧7When a man’s ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. ✧8Better is a little, with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.
