Proverbs 5:21

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings - (; ; .) This answers by anticipation the objection of the whoremonger-I will act with such caution and secrecy as to evade all the penalties of fornication and adultery. But this is impossible, "For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord," etc. As the argument in the first clause is from the omniscience of God, so that in the second is from His justice - "He pondereth" - i:e., He weighs in an even balance, and will reward accordingly "all man's goings."
