5 Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 16:5
The LORD Weighs the Heart: Sovereignty, Humility, Justice, and the Wise Path
The chapter moves from the LORD's sovereignty over plans and motives, to justice in royal rule, to the superiority of wisdom and humility, to gracious speech and the warning against self-deceived paths, to destructive speech and violent companionship, and finally to patience, self-control, and the LORD's final governance.
