Proverbs 16:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 All a man’s ways are pure in his own eyes, but his motives are weighed out by the LORD.

3 Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved.

4 The LORD has made everything for His purpose— even the wicked for the day of disaster.

5 Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.

6 By loving devotion and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns aside from evil.
