Proverbs 16:3

Verse 3 of 33. The 16th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

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

3Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

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

5Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

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

7When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
