Proverbs 19:21 Context
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliuer him, yet thou must doe it againe. 20Heare counsell, and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. 21There are many deuices in a mans heart: neuerthelesse the counsell of the Lord, that shall stand. 22The desire of a man is his kindnesse: and a poore man is better then a lyar. 23The feare of the Lord tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall abide satisfied: he shall not be visited with euill.
