Proverbs 29:26

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
