Proverbs 16

God's sovereignty and human planning side by side: we plan, He directs our steps; we cast the lot, and He decides. That isn't fatalism. It frees us from having to control outcomes. Pride before a fall, "pleasant words are a honeycomb," and ruling your own temper is greater than conquering a city. Verse 6: iniquity is atoned for by chesed and faithfulness.

"Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved." (Proverbs 16:3)

"A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." (Proverbs 16:9)

Versions/Hebrew: "Commit" in 16:3 is gol from galal [1556], "roll" (YLT: "Roll unto Jehovah thy works"), the same verb as Psalm 37:5, verified in OSHB. "Plans" is machshevotecha [4284], your thoughts or schemes (KJV "thy thoughts shall be established"). Roll the work onto Him, and your anxious thinking gets steadied.
