Behold, I know your thoughts full well, the schemes by which you would wrong me.

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.

Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.

…who speak of You deceitfully; Your enemies take Your name in vain.

To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,

Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you,

My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.

…that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.

I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.

The good man obtains favor from the LORD, but the LORD condemns a man who devises evil.

A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.

He who plots evil will be called a schemer.

What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom? When you are wicked, then you rejoice.

The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this clearly.

The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.

Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because His plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the vengeance of the LORD—vengeance for His temple.
