Proverbs 16:5-12

⁵Every one that is proud in heart is unclean before God, And he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless.

⁷The beginning of a good way is to do justly; And it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices.

⁸He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: And they that rightly seek him shall find peace.

⁹All the works of the Lord are done with righteousness; And the ungodly man is kept for the evil day.

¹⁰There is an oracle upon the lips of a king; And his mouth shall not err in judgment.

¹¹The poise of the balance is righteousness with the Lord; And his works are righteous measures.

¹²An evildoer is an abomination to a king; For the throne of rule is established by righteousness.
