Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Mennesket gjør sine egne overveielser, men Herren vet hva som er rett. En mann kan leve rent i egne øyne, men det er Herren som vurderer om det er rett. Overgi ditt liv til Herren, så skal dine planer bli virkelighet. Herren har lagd alt med en hensikt. Han har også en plan for dem som lever uten Ham – de går fortapt. Herren avskyr den stolte og selvgode, når tiden er inne, vil han bli straffet.
