5Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Adonai : they shall certainly not be unpunished.
6By cheshed ·loving-kindness· and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Adonai men depart from evil.
7When a man’s ways please Adonai , he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with lo'mishpat ·injustice·.
9A man’s heart plans his course, but Adonai directs his steps.
10Inspired charges are on the lips of the king. His mouth shall not betray his judgments.
11Mishpat ·Honest· balances and scales are Adonai ’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.
12It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
