Proverbs 16:7-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8. Better is a little with righteousnessthan great revenues with injustice.

9. The heart of man plans his way,but the Lord establishes his steps.

10. An oracle is on the lips of a king;his mouth does not sin in judgment.

11. A just balance and scales are the Lord’s;all the weights in the bag are his work.

12. It is an abomination to kings to do evil,for the throne is established by righteousness.
