Man's Plans vs. the Wisdom of the LORD's Ways

Sermon         Proverbs 16:1–9

¹The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
²All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the spirit.
³Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
⁴The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
even the wicked for the day of trouble.
⁵Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
be assured, he will not go unpunished.
⁶By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.
⁷When a man’s ways please the Lord,
he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
⁸Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues with injustice.
⁹The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.
