Proverbs 16:7-13

⁷When the Lord receiveth in favor a man's ways, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

⁸Better is a little with righteousness, than great incomes through injustice.

⁹A man's heart deviseth his way; but the Lord directeth firmly his steps.

¹⁰There should be a wise sentence on the lips of the king: his mouth should never commit a trespass in judging.

¹¹A just balance and scales belong to the Lord: his work are all the weights in the bag.

¹²It should be an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; for through righteousness alone can a throne be established.

¹³Righteous lips should obtain the favor of kings; and him that speaketh uprightly should they love.
