I understand enough to tell you that your translation is by Mickey Mouse. This is King James for Proverbs 20:24:
Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

This is Douay-Rheims

The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?

The Greek for "guided" or as you insist "ordained" is "euthunetai". It never appears as translation for King James's "ordained [by God]"; "epoiezo" seems to be the Greek origin for these. Neither the Hebrew MTzADI-GBR appears anywhere near King James's "ordained".

Where is the sin of Adams ordained, Mr. Sola Scriptura?

Forgot to mention, "eutuno" means exactly what Douay translates:

- guide straight, direct
- make or put straight
- examine the conduct of
- serve

(Liddell, Scott)

I don't use the King James. BTW-I'm a little confused by your post. Proverbs is Hebrew not Greek.

Pick a translation, I don't care...

It doesn't change the meaning. Your steps are guided by the Lord. The Douay-Rheims would like to soften this with guided. You'll find the D-R to be out of sinc with all translations, probably another error of the Latin Vulgate. The Hebrew states, "A man's steps are from the Lord..." Just so as to be absolutely correct, I've updated my tagline with the Hebrew translation.

Would you disagree with the Douay-Rheims version that the Lord did NOT guide Adam's steps? Want others???

BTW-I'm extremely flatter about my "Mr. Sola Scriptura" titled but I simply reading what God has spoken.
