Proverbs 16:7-12

Tree of Life Version

⁷ When one’s ways are pleasing to Adonai,
he makes even his enemies be at peace with him.
⁸ Better a little with righteousness
than much income without justice.
⁹ The heart of man plans his course,
but Adonai directs his steps.

¹⁰ An oracle is on the lips of the king—
let his mouth never be treacherous in judgment.
¹¹ Honest balances and scales are Adonai’s.
All the weights in a bag are His handiwork.
¹² Wrongdoing is an abomination to kings,
for a throne is established by righteousness.
