'Purpose' in the Bible

to give shrewdness to the simple, knowledge and purpose to the young,

Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:

My son, keep good sense, and do not let wise purpose go from your eyes.

Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage]And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity].

So that you may be ruled by a wise purpose, and your lips may keep knowledge.

The Lord has prepared everything for His purpose—even the wicked for the day of disaster.

To what purpose is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no sense?

He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense.

Many plans are in a man’s mind,But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).

Deep waters [are like] purpose in the heart of a man, and a man of understanding will draw it out.

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more when they bring it with a wicked purpose!

He who is cruel to the poor for the purpose of increasing his profit, and he who gives to the man of wealth, will only come to be in need.

The purpose of folly is sin, and the scorner is an abomination to men.

As iron sharpens iron,So one man sharpens [and influences] another [through discussion].
