Proverbs 16:6-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. By mercy and truth, iniquity is redeemed. And by the fear of the Lord, one turns away from evil.

7. When the ways of man will please the Lord, he will convert even his enemies to peace.

8. Better is a little with justice, than many fruits with iniquity.

9. The heart of man disposes his way. But it is for Lord to direct his steps.

10. Foreknowledge is in the lips of the king. His mouth shall not err in judgment.

11. Weights and scales are judgments of the Lord. And all the stones in the bag are his work.

12. Those who act impiously are abominable to the king. For the throne is made firm by justice.
