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

8. Better a little with righteousnessthan great income with injustice.

9. A man’s heart plans his way,but the Lord determines his steps.

10. God’s verdict is on the lips of a king; his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.

11. Honest balances and scales are the Lord’s;all the weights in the bag are His concern.

12. Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, since a throne is established through righteousness.
