“The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.”
To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the proper answer of the tongue. Humans devise (machshavot lev), but the LORD directs speech (maaneh lashon mi'YHWH). Divine sovereignty and human responsibility coexist. Planning matters, but God directs outcomes.
