4 The Lord works everything for its own ends – even the wicked for the day of disaster.
5 The Lord abhors every arrogant person;rest assured that they will not go unpunished.
6 Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased;through fearing the Lord one avoids evil.
7 When a person’s ways are pleasing to the Lord,he even reconciles his enemies to himself.
8 Better to have a little with righteousnessthan to have abundant income without justice.
9 A person plans his course,but the Lord directs his steps.
10 The divine verdict is in the words of the king,his pronouncements must not act treacherously against justice.
