Proverbs 16:4-8

⁴The Lord has made everything for his purpose, even the sinner for the day of evil.

⁵Everyone who has pride in his heart is disgusting to the Lord: he will certainly not go free from punishment.

⁶By mercy and good faith evil-doing is taken away: and by the fear of the Lord men are turned away from evil.

⁷When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his haters be at peace with him.

⁸Better is a little with righteousness, than great wealth with wrongdoing.
