Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 16 of Proverbs. The chapter begins by affirming the Lord’s sovereignty over human plans. People may devise their ways, but the final outcome depends on God. This tension between human responsibility and divine rule appears repeatedly in Proverbs. The reference to just scales shows that divine sovereignty does not eliminate ethics: God hates dishonesty even in ordinary commercial practices.

Rimetti le tue opere nel Signore, E i tuoi pensieri saranno stabiliti
Confia ao SENHOR as tuas obras, e teus pensamentos serão estabelecidos.
你所做的,要交託耶和華, 你所謀的,就必堅立。
