Proverbs 16:7-13

⁷When a person's ways are pleasing to Yahweh, he makes even that person's enemies to be at peace with him.

⁸Better is a little with what is right, than a large income with injustice.

⁹In his heart a person plans out his way, but Yahweh directs his steps.

¹⁰Insightful decisions are on the lips of a king, his mouth should not betray justice.

¹¹Honest scales come from Yahweh; all the weights in the bag are his work.

¹²When kings do wicked things, that is something to be despised, for a throne is established by doing what is right.

¹³A king delights in lips that say what is right and he loves the one who speaks directly.
