Proverbs 16:7-17

⁷When the ways of a man please the Lord, he shall convert, yea, his enemies to peace.

⁸Better is a little with rightfulness or rightwiseness, than many fruits with wickedness.

⁹The heart of a man shall dispose his way; but it pertaineth to the Lord to dress his steps.

¹⁰Divining is in the lips of a king; his mouth shall not err in doom.

¹¹The dooms of the Lord be weight and balance; and his works be all the stones of the world.

¹²They that do wickedly be abominable to the king; for the throne of the realm is made steadfast by rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹³The will of kings is just or rightwise lips; he that speaketh rightful or right things, shall be addressed.

¹⁴The Indignation of the king is messengers of death; and a wise man shall please him.

¹⁵Life is in gladness of the king’s cheer; and his mercy is as rain coming late.

¹⁶Wield thou wisdom, for it is better than gold; and get thou prudence, for it is preciouser than silver.

¹⁷The path of just or rightwise men boweth away from evils; the keeper of his soul keepeth his way.
