Proverbs

⁶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. ⁷When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. ⁸Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. ⁹A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. ¹⁰A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. ¹¹A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are his work. ¹²It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
