Proverbs 16:6-12

⁶Through kindness and truth, iniquity is expiated; And, through the fear of the LORD, men depart from evil.

⁷When a man's ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

⁸Better is a little with righteousness, Than great revenues without right.

⁹The heart of man deviseth his way, But the LORD establisheth his steps.

¹⁰A divine sentence is upon the lips of a king; His mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

¹¹A just balance and scales are the appointment of the LORD; All the weights of the bag are his work.

¹²The doing of wickedness is an abomination to kings; For by righteousness is the throne established.
