Proverbs 16:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 By steadfast loyalty guilt is expiated,
and by the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.[a]
7 When the Lord is pleased with someone’s ways,
he makes even enemies be at peace with them.
8 Better a little with justice,
than a large income with injustice.
