5All that are proude in heart, are an abomination to the Lord: though hand ioyne in hand, he shall not be vnpunished.
6By mercy and trueth iniquitie shalbe forgiuen, and by the feare of the Lord they depart from euill.
7When the wayes of a man please the Lord, he will make also his enemies at peace with him.
8Better is a litle with righteousnesse, then great reuenues without equitie.
9The heart of man purposeth his way: but the Lord doeth direct his steppes.
10A diuine sentence shalbe in the lips of the King: his mouth shall not transgresse in iudgement.
11A true weight and balance are of the Lord: all the weightes of the bagge are his worke.
12It is an abomination to Kings to commit wickednes: for the throne is stablished by iustice.
13Righteous lips are the delite of Kings, and the King loueth him that speaketh right things.
14The wrath of a King is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacifie it.
15In the light of the Kings coutenance is life: and his fauour is as a cloude of the latter raine.
