26  One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,¹

but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

12  ^tThere is a way that seems right to a man,

but ^uits end is the way to death.¹

22  ⁿWithout counsel plans fail,

but with many advisers they succeed.

3  ^oCommit your work to the Lord,

and your plans will be established.

9  ^yThe heart of man plans his way,

but ^zthe Lord establishes his steps.

1  Whoever ^yisolates himself seeks his own desire;

he breaks out against all sound judgment.

2  Desire¹ without knowledge is not good,

and whoever ^cmakes haste with his feet misses his way.

21  ⁱMany are the plans in the mind of a man,

but ^jit is the purpose of the Lord ^kthat will stand.

29  A wicked man puts on a bold face,

but the upright ^lgives thought to¹ his ways.
