Everything with a Place and a Purpose (Proverbs 16:1-9) The Message Bible

1  Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.
2  Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good; God probes for what is good.
3  Put God in charge of your work, then what you've planned will take place.
4  God made everything with a place and purpose; even the wicked are included—but for judgment.
5  God can't stomach arrogance or pretense; believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place.
6  Guilt is banished through love and truth; Fear-of-God deflects evil.
7  When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.
8  Far better to be right and poor than to be wrong and rich.
9  We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it.
