6 In mercy and truthAtonement is provided for iniquity;And by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord,He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness,Than vast revenues without justice.
9 A man’s heart plans his way,But the Lord directs his steps.
10 Divination is on the lips of the king;His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
11 Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s;All the weights in the bag are His work.
12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,For a throne is established by righteousness.
