And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.

You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping.
A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.
