'Man's' in the Bible
For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the Lord,And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings].
In the twilight, in the evening;In the black and dark night.
The rich man’s wealth is his fortress;The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
A man will be satisfied with good from the fruit of his words,And the deeds of a man’s hands will return to him [as a harvest].
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,But a good (encouraging) word makes it glad.
When a man’s ways please the Lord,He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life],But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters [copious and difficult to fathom];The fountain of [mature, godly] wisdom is like a bubbling stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,And like a high wall [of protection] in his own imagination and conceit.
A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for himAnd brings him before great men.
A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.
Many plans are in a man’s mind,But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).
Man’s steps are ordered and ordained by the Lord.How then can a man [fully] understand his way?
Whoever digs a pit [for another man’s feet] will fall into it,And he who rolls a stone [up a hill to do mischief], it will come back on him.
A man’s pride and sense of self-importance will bring him down,But he who has a humble spirit will obtain honor.
