Proverbs 16:9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

A man's heart deviseth his way Considers and proposes to himself what he will do; designs an end, and contrives by what means he may attain it; but the Lord directeth his steps Ruleth and disposeth all his intentions and actions as he pleases, determining what the event shall be, and ordering his motions, perhaps, to such an issue as never came into his thoughts.
