(A)The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
    even (B)the wicked for the day of trouble.
Everyone who is arrogant in heart is (C)an abomination to the Lord;
    (D)be assured, he will not go unpunished.
By (E)steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
    and by (F)the fear of the Lord one (G)turns away from evil.
When a man's ways please the Lord,
    (H)he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
(I)Better is a little with righteousness
    than great revenues with injustice.
