Proverbs 16:2-12 King James Version (KJV)

2. All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

3. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

4. The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall 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 maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

9. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

10. A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

11. A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are his work.

12. It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
