Proverbs 16:1-9 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

1. Of man [are] arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.

2. All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering the spirits.

3. Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,

4. All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked [worketh] for a day of evil.

5. An abomination to Jehovah [is] every proud one of heart, Hand to hand he is not acquitted.

6. In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.

7. When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.

8. Better [is] a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.

9. The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.
