6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than a great number of fruits with injustice.
9 The heart of man devises his way, but the Lord directs his steps.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; his mouth does not transgress in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the Lord’s; all the weights of the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness, for the throne is to be established with righteousness.
