Proverbs
Chapters 16:4-10
New International Version Anglicized
4The Lord works out everything to its proper end –even the wicked for a day of disaster.
5The Lord detests all the proud of heart.Be sure of this: they will not go unpunished.
6Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
7When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
8Better a little with righteousnessthan much gain with injustice.
9In their hearts humans plan their course,but the Lord establishes their steps.
10The lips of a king speak as an oracle,and his mouth does not betray justice.
