3Lay open thy works to the Lord: and thy thoughts shall be directed.
4The Lord hath made all things for himself: the wicked also for the evil day.
5Every proud man is an abomination to the Lord: though hand should be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice; and this is more acceptable with God, than to offer sacrifices.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is redeemed: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7When the ways of man shall please the Lord, he will convert even his enemies to peace.
