Proverbs 16:6-10 New International Version (NIV)

6. Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.

7. When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way, he causes their enemies to make peace with them.

8. Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

9. In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

10. The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth does not betray justice.
