6Through kindness and truth is iniquity atoned for; and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7When the Lord receiveth in favor a man's ways, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Better is a little with righteousness, than great incomes through injustice.
9A man's heart deviseth his way; but the Lord directeth firmly his steps.
10There should be a wise sentence on the lips of the king: his mouth should never commit a trespass in judging.
11A just balance and scales belong to the Lord: his work are all the weights in the bag.
12It should be an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; for through righteousness alone can a throne be established.
