A man's heart devises his way, but Jehovah arranges his steps.

There are many plans in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of Jehovah shall stand.

Man's steps are of Jehovah; how then can a man understand his own way?

The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah; like rivers of water, He turns it wherever He pleases.

So it was, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel! Therefore they surrounded him to engage in battle; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him, and God drew them away from him.

Blessed be Jehovah the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this into the king's heart, to beautify the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem,

O Lord, I beseech You, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who delight to fear Your name; and give Your servant success this day, and grant him mercy before this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

Jehovah, You have heard the desire of the lowly; You will prepare their heart, You will cause Your ear to hear,

Extend my heart to Your Testimonies, and not to unjust gain.

O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.

And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for their good and for the good of their children after them.

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good. But I will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me.

I will also give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments and do them.

But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Do not be led astray, my beloved brethren.

Of His own purpose He brought us forth by the Word of Truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

And Jehovah said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Is it not I, Jehovah?

Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.

And you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.

But Jehovah said to me, Do not say, I am a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.

And Jehovah put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth.

But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you should speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;

for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

Now when they bring you to the synagogues and rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.

For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.

Therefore settle it in your hearts not to premeditate a defense;

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.
