Proverbs 16:6-16

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
7 When a man's ways please Yahweh, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.
9 A man's heart plans his course, But Yahweh directs his steps.
10 Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. His shall not betray his mouth.
11 Honest balances and scales are Yahweh's; All the weights in the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, For the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
14 The king's wrath is a messenger of death, But a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light of the king's face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
