Proverbs 16:4-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4. The Lord has made everything for its own purpose, Even the wicked for the day of evil.

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

6. By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for, And by the fear of the Lord one keeps away from evil.

7. When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8. Better is a little with righteousness Than great income with injustice.

9. The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

10. A divine decision is in the lips of the king; His mouth should not err in judgment.
