4 Adonai works everything out for his own purpose— even the wicked for a day of disaster.
5 Adonai abhors all the proud in heart. Be assured, they will not go unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth is iniquity atoned, and by the fear of Adonai one avoids evil.
7 When one’s ways are pleasing to Adonai, he makes even his enemies be at peace with him.
8 Better a little with righteousness than much income without justice.
9 The heart of man plans his course, but Adonai directs his steps.
10 An oracle is on the lips of the king— let his mouth never be treacherous in judgment.
