Proverbs 16:6-9, 16-19

Proverbs 16:6-9 NET

Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased; through fearing the LORD one avoids evil. When a person’s ways are pleasing to the LORD, he even reconciles his enemies to himself. Better to have a little with righteousness than to have abundant income without justice. A person plans his course, but the LORD directs his steps.

Proverbs 16:16-19 NET

NIV KJV ESV NLT NKJV

How much better it is to acquire wisdom than gold; to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver. The highway of the upright is to turn away from evil; the one who guards his way safeguards his life. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be lowly in spirit with the afflicted than to share the spoils with the proud.
