Proverbs 16:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ The Lord doesn't like
    anyone who is conceited—
you can be sure
    they will be punished.
^6 (A) If we truly love God,
    our sins will be forgiven;
if we show him respect,
    we will keep away from sin.
⁷ When we please the Lord,
even our enemies
    make friends with us.
