5 The lord detests the proud;they will surely be punished.
6 Unfailing love and faithfulness make atonement for sin.By fearing the lord, people avoid evil.
7 When people’s lives please the lord,even their enemies are at peace with them.
8 Better to have little, with godliness,than to be rich and dishonest.
9 We can make our plans,but the lord determines our steps.
10 The king speaks with divine wisdom;he must never judge unfairly.
11 The lord demands accurate scales and balances;he sets the standards for fairness.
