Proverbs 16:9-11
The Message
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.
11 God cares about honesty in the workplace;
your business is his business.
Proverbs 16:9-11
New International Version
9 In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.(A)
10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.(B)
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.(C)
