Proverbs 16:3

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.

5 ^aEveryone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join¹ forces, none will go unpunished.

Proverbs 16:3

Commit thy works unto the Lord - See that what thou doest is commanded; and then begin, continue, and end all in his name. And thy thoughts shall be established - these schemes or arrangements, though formed in the heart, are agreeable to the Divine will, and therefore shall be established. His thoughts - his meditations - are right; and he begins and ends his work in the Lord; and therefore all issues well.
