161 To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
161 The preparations
161 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
161 Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.
161 The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
161 We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.
5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
5 God can't stomach arrogance or pretense; believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place.
5 Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.
5 The Lord detests the proud; they will surely be punished.
(Read Proverbs 16:5)
Though sinners strengthen themselves and one another, they shall not escape God's judgments.

(Read Proverbs 16:1)
The renewing grace of God alone prepares the heart for every good work. This teaches us that we are not sufficient of ourselves to think or speak any thing wise and good.
