Proverbs 16:7-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

8. Better is a little with righteousness,Than vast revenues without justice.

9. A man’s heart plans his way,But the Lord directs his steps.

10. Divination is on the lips of the king;His mouth must not transgress in judgment.

11. Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s;All the weights in the bag are His work.

12. It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,For a throne is established by righteousness.

13. Righteous lips are the delight of kings,And they love him who speaks what is right.

14. As messengers of death is the king’s wrath,But a wise man will appease it.

15. In the light of the king’s face is life,And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.

16. How much better to get wisdom than gold!And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
