Everyone who is arrogant in heart is (A)an abomination to the Lord;
    (B)be assured, he will not go unpunished.
By (C)steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
    and by (D)the fear of the Lord one (E)turns away from evil.
When a man's ways please the Lord,
    (F)he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
(G)Better is a little with righteousness
    than great revenues with injustice.
(H)The heart of man plans his way,
    but (I)the Lord establishes his steps.
10 (J)An oracle is on the lips of a king;
    his mouth does not sin in judgment.
11 (K)A just balance and scales are the Lord's;
    all the weights in the bag are his work.
