Proverbs 16:6-12

⁶Sin is forgiven through trustworthy love and faithfulness; by honoring the Lord people are saved from evil.

⁷When the way that people live pleases the Lord, he makes even their enemies be at peace with them.

⁸Better to have just a little and be honest than to have a lot and be dishonest.

⁹You can plan in your mind what to do, but the Lord will guide you.

¹⁰The king is inspired in what he says; he is not unreliable in his decisions.

¹¹Accurate scales and balances are important to the Lord. He has determined all the weights in the bag.

¹²It's a terrible thing for a king to do evil, for his throne is based on doing right.
