'Designs' in the Bible

Because Aram has made evil designs against you, saying,

Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.

And if he puts out his hands, like a man stretching out his hands in swimming, the Lord will make low his pride, however expert his designs.

Cursed are those who go deep to keep their designs secret from the Lord, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who has knowledge of our acts?

The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.

Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.
