Job 17:11
My days have passed; my plans are broken off—even the desires of my heart.
BSB
ASV
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.
KJV
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
Only do not vainly speak of the restoration of health to me; for "my days are past." broken off--as the threads of the web cut off from the loom (Isa 38:12). thoughts--literally, "possessions," that is, all the feelings and fair hopes which my heart once nourished.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Proverbs 16:9A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
leads to
Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
Reached by 2 independent paths from here.
The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.
The plans of the heart belong to man, but the reply of the tongue is from the LORD.
A man’s steps are from the LORD, so how can anyone understand his own way?
I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.
Through
Lamentations 3:37Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
leads to
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
