Proverbs 16:1-10 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

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

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

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

5. Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though they join hand in hand, none shall be unpunished.

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

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

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

9. A man's heart plans his way: but the LORD directs his steps.

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