Proverbs 16:6-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ By loyalty and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
    and by the fear of the Lord one avoids evil.
⁷ When the ways of people please the Lord,
    he causes even their enemies to be at peace with them.
⁸ Better is a little with righteousness
    than large income with injustice.
⁹ The human mind plans the way,
    but the Lord directs the steps.
¹⁰ Inspired decisions are on the lips of a king;
    his mouth does not sin in judgement.
