Proverbs 16:1
KJV
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
NIV
To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the proper answer of the tongue.
The entire meaning of this passage is distorted in modern versions. In the KJV, both “the preparations of the heart in man” and “the answer of the tongue” are from the LORD. But modern versions attribute the “plans of the heart” to man, leaving only the “answer of the tongue” to God.
