My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
