2  Every way of a man is ^hright in his own eyes,

but the Lord weighs the heart.

12  The Righteous One observes the house of the wicked;

he throws the wicked down to ruin.

30  No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel

can avail against the Lord.

31  ^cThe horse is made ready for the day of battle,

^dbut the victory belongs to the Lord.
