9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
10 An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.
9 We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it. It Pays to Take Life Seriously
10 A good leader motivates, doesn't mislead, doesn't exploit.
9 A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
10 Divination is on the lips of the king; His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
9 We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.
10 The king speaks with divine wisdom; he must never judge unfairly.
