Proverbs 16:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 The mind of (A)man plans his way,
But (B)the Lord directs his steps.
10 A divine (C)decision is in the lips of the king;
His mouth should not [a]err in judgment.
11 A (D)just balance and scales belong to the Lord;
All the [b]weights of the bag are His [c]concern.

but the Lord establishes their steps.(A)

and his mouth does not betray justice.(B)
