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.
9 In your heart you plan your life. But the Lord decides where your steps will take you.
10 A king might speak as if his words come from God. But what he says should not turn right into wrong.
