Prov 16:8      Prov 16:10

Proverbs 16:9

The heart of man devises (plans) his way ["weaves together" and works out his way of life],
but the Lord (Yahweh) directs (leads) his steps (in the singular: course of life, journey on earth).
[Path here probably refers primarily to character and morality, see Prov 16:2, 7, 17, 25.]
