Proverbs 16-18

16 - Commit your plans to the Lord, and they will be established. The Lord accomplishes everything for His own purpose, and the glory of His own Name.

17 - Many are the unprofitable ways of the one who is foolish, and lacks discretion. He will suffer for his bad decisions, and bring grief upon those who raised him.

18 - A fools mouth is his ruin, and is reflected in his desire to be heard, rather than to learn from others. He cannot help himself from answering, even before hearing the question. Death and life are equally within the power of the tongue, and the prudent weighs his words carefully before speaking.
