Proverbs 21:29-31
New Catholic Bible

29 A wicked man puts up a bold front,
    but an upright man amends his ways.
30 Neither wisdom nor understanding nor counsel
    can be of avail against the Lord.
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
    but victory rests with the Lord.[a]

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 21:31 Neither horses nor chariots nor any other means of fighting a battle can ensure victory (see Ps 20:8; Hos 1:7; see Deut 7:16), since it is the Lord alone who ensures victory (see 1 Sam 17:47; Pss 3:9; 27:1; 28:9; 33:12-19; Isa 31:1; 43:3; Rev 7:10).
