Proverbs 16:10


Proverbs 16:9 Proverbs 16:10 (KJV) Proverbs 16:11
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
A divine sentence [is] in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
A just weight and balance [are] the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag [are] his work.
