Proverbs 20:24

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?

See the chapter Copy

I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk and to direct his steps.

The heart of man disposeth his way: but the Lord must direct his steps.

My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.

Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.

I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

The wisdom of a discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.

For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.

It is the part of man to prepare the soul: and of the Lord to govern the tongue.
