Proverbs 16:5-18
New International Version
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord(C) evil is avoided.(D)
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace(E) with them.(F)
9 In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.(I)
10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.(J)
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.(K)
12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.(L)
13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
they value the one who speaks what is right.(M)
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.(T)
