v. 1. The preparations of the heart in man and the answer of the tongue is from the Lord, literally, "To man," that is, pertaining to man, "the plannings of the heart, but from Jehovah the answer of the tongue. " The mind of a man may be engaged in attempting to solve a problem, in setting up various plans or schemes to reach a right conclusion, but the best solution is that which is given by the Lord, who finally leads the thoughts according to His will and causes them to be expressed in words in agreement with His plans.
