When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.

And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
