3 Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed.
4 The Lord works everything out for his own purposes. Even those who do wrong were made for a day of trouble.
5 The Lord hates all those who have proud hearts. You can be sure that they will be punished.
6 Through love and truth sin is paid for. People avoid evil when they have respect for the Lord.
7 When the way you live pleases the Lord, he makes even your enemies live at peace with you.
8 It is better to have a little and do right than to have a lot and be unfair.
