The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives]. (Proverbs 14:1) For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward. (1Corinthians 3:11,14) The works of His hands are truth and [absolute] justice;
All His precepts are sure (established, reliable, trustworthy).
They are upheld forever and ever;
They are done in [absolute] truth and uprightness.
(Psalmm 111:6-7)
He who walks in uprightness [reverently] fears the LORD [and obeys and worships Him with profound respect], But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.
(Proverbs 14:2) All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions],
But the LORD weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth].
Commit your works to the LORD [submit and trust them to Him],
And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance. (Proverbs 16:2-3) Jesus said to him, I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life. (John 14:6)
