5Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah: Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for; And by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.
7When a man’s ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Better is a little, with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.
9A man’s heart deviseth his way; But Jehovah directeth his steps.
10A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; His mouth shall not transgress in judgment.
11A just balance and scales are Jehovah’s; All the weights of the bag are his work.
12It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; For the throne is established by righteousness.
