6 Be loyal to Yahweh and faithfully obey him; if you do that, he will forgive you for having sinned. If we revere him, nothing evil will happen to us (OR, he will prevent evil things from happening to us).
7 When our behavior pleases Yahweh, he even causes our enemies to act peacefully toward us.
8 It is better to have a small amount of money that is earned honestly than to have a lot of money that is acquired dishonestly.
9 People plan what they want to do, but Yahweh directs/determines what they will really be able to do.
10 If God directs what a king says, what he decides is always right/fair.
11 Yahweh wants us to use scales that are correct; the weights in his bag are correct, because he made them.
12 Kings detest those who do evil, because it is people doing what is fair/right that causes their governments to be MTY strong.
13 Kings are delighted to hear people say MTY what is true; they love those who say what is right/honest.
14 If a king becomes angry, he may command that someone be executed, so wise people will try to cause him to be calm.
15 If a king has a smile MTY on his face, he will enable people to have a long life (OR, he will not order people to be executed); his being pleased with people is as delightful as rain in the springtime when seeds are planted.
