PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL - 1The intentions of the heart belong to a man, but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord. 2All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion, but the Lord evaluates the motives. 3Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established. 4The Lord works everything for its own ends – even the wicked for the day of disaster. 5The Lord abhors every arrogant person; rest assured that they will not go unpunished. 6Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased; through fearing the Lord one avoids evil. 7When a person’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, he even reconciles his enemies to himself. 8Better to have a little with righteousness than to have abundant income without justice. 9A person plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps. 10The divine verdict is in the words of the king, his pronouncements must not act treacherously against justice. 11Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are his handiwork. 12Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, because a throne is established in righteousness.
