“We can make our own plans, but the Lord give the right answer.

“The path of the virtuous leads away from evil; whoever follows that path is safe.
Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.

“Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by living a godly life.
Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall.” (vv 31-33, NLT)
