 | There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD. The horse is made ready for the day of battle, |
 | There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD. |
 | There is no wisdom and no understanding And no counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But victory belongs to the LORD. |
| Proverbs 21:30-31 |
Commentary
21:30 Man is powerless to outwit God in wisdom, understanding, or strategy. None of his plots can avail against the Lord. "Every purpose of the Lord shall be performed" (Jer. 51:29).
21:31 Men may go to elaborate plans to insure military success, but victory on the day of battle comes from the Lord alone. It is better to trust in Him than in horses-or in nuclear weapons-(see Ps. 20:7).
