Proverbs 16:5-18

Proverbs 16:5-18 CSB

NIVKJVESVNLTNKJV

Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the  Lord;  be assured,  he will not go unpunished.  Iniquity is atoned for by loyalty and faithfulness,  and one turns from evil by the fear of the  Lord.  When a person’s ways please the  Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.  Better a little with righteousness than great income with injustice.  A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.  God’s verdict is on the lips of a king;  , his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.  Honest balances and scales are the  Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his concern.  Wicked behavior is detestable to kings,  since a throne is established through righteousness.  Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he loves one who speaks honestly. A king’s fury is a messenger of death, but a wise person appeases it.  When a king’s face lights up, there is life; his favor is like a cloud with spring rain. Get wisdom — how much better it is than gold! And get understanding — it is preferable to silver.  The highway of the upright  avoids evil; the one who guards his way protects his life.  Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
