Proverbs 16:2

Compare all

1 The ^apreparations of the heart belong to man,
^bBut the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own ^aeyes,
But the Lord weighs the spirits.

3 ^aCommit¹ your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.

4 The ^aLord has made all for Himself,
^bYes, even the wicked for the day of¹ doom.

Proverbs 16:2

We are blind to our own faults, do not see ourselves as others see us. There is One who tries not the "ways" only, but the "spirits" Hebrews 4:12 : this is the true remedy against self-deceit.
