Proverbs
Chapters 16:7-13
New International Version Anglicized
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.
11Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;all the weights in the bag are of his making.
12Kings detest wrongdoing,for a throne is established through righteousness.
13Kings take pleasure in honest lips;they value the one who speaks what is right.
