5. Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to יהוה; Hand to hand: he goes not unpunished.
6. By kindness and truth crookedness is pardoned. And in the fear of יהוה one turns away from evil.
7. When a man’s ways please יהוה, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8. Better is a little with righteousness, Than a large income without right-ruling.
9. A man’s heart plans his way, But יהוה establishes his steps.
10. An oath is on the lips of the sovereign, In right-ruling his mouth trespasses not.
11. A right scale and balances are of יהוה; All the weights in the bag are His work.
12. It is an abomination for sovereigns To commit wrongness, For a throne is established by righteousness.
