Proverbs 16:5-15

5 abominatio Domini omnis arrogans etiam si manus ad manum fuerit non erit innocens

6 misericordia et veritate redimitur iniquitas et in timore Domini declinatur a malo

7 cum placuerint Domino viae hominis inimicos quoque eius convertet ad pacem

8 melius est parum cum iustitia quam multi fructus cum iniquitate

9 cor hominis disponet viam suam sed Domini est dirigere gressus eius

10 divinatio in labiis regis in iudicio non errabit os eius

11 pondus et statera iudicia Domini sunt et opera eius omnes lapides sacculi

12 abominabiles regi qui agunt impie quoniam iustitia firmatur solium

13 voluntas regum labia iusta qui recta loquitur diligetur

14 indignatio regis nuntii mortis et vir sapiens placabit eam

15 in hilaritate vultus regis vita et clementia eius quasi imber serotinus
