    In Proverbs 16:1, the masculine plural construct form occurs in the clause concerning what belongs to a man’s heart; the APB renders the verse, “To a man belong the plans of the heart, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Proverbs 16:1, the APB presents the relevant clause as “the plans of the heart.” This indicates the clause's presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
