Proverbs 19:21

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. preparations: or, disposings

The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. bringeth: Heb. maketh frustrate The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. to all...: Heb. to generation and generation

This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
