Proverbs 16:4-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ The Lord has made everything for his^[a] own purpose,
even a wicked person for a day of trouble.
⁵ Anyone with an arrogant attitude is disgusting to the Lord.
Be sure of this: That person will not go unpunished.
⁶ Through mercy and truth, guilt is atoned for,
and through the fear of the Lord, one turns away from evil.
⁷ When the Lord is pleased with a man’s ways,
he causes even his enemies to live at peace with him.

⁸ Better a little with righteousness
    than a large income without justice.
