Proverbs 16:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Lay open thy works to the Lord: and thy thoughts shall be directed.

⁴ The Lord hath made all things for himself: the wicked also for the evil day.

⁵ Every proud man is an abomination to the Lord: though hand should be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice; and this is more acceptable with God, than to offer sacrifices.
