Proverbs 16:5-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;be assured, he will not be unpunished.

6. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged;and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

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. A man’s heart devises his way,but the Lord directs his steps.

10. A divine sentence is in the lips of the king;his mouth does not transgress in judgment.

11. A just weight and balance belong to the Lord;all the weights of the bag are His work.
