We plan things in our hearts and can give proper answers from the Lord. We make plans and He establishes our steps. Righteousness is its own gain. Honest weights and scales belong to Jehovah.

We all believe that what we do is correct, but Proverbs 16 tells us that Yahweh looks at our motives. He judges us by them. He does not care about superficial actions or religious actions and preferences.

Are you committing what you do to the Lord and following His plans? Guarding your ways will preserve your life. Pride comes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Everything will work to the end that Yahweh has planned for it. Enemies make peace with those who follow the Lord’s way. Proud hearts will not go unpunished.

Love and faithfulness will atone for our sins. When He sees these, He takes pleasure in us and protects us. Our trust in Him brings blessings. A last verse deals with using a device to gain the knowledge of what is the desire of God.

Kings speak as an oracle, detest evil, prefer honesty, and have the power of life and death. Instruction from the Lord prospers us. Prudence is a fountain of life. Gracious words are sweet to the soul. A right path may end in death.

Our hunger drives us to work for a living. Evil men speak fire. The perverse stir up conflict and separate friends. The violent entice others. Blinking the eye and pursing the lips indicate perversity and evil.

Gray hair is a crown of splendor. Patience and self-control are better than fighting. Casting a lot can determine God’s will.
