Compare all

4 The ^aLord has made all for Himself,
^bYes, even the wicked for the day of¹ doom.

5 ^aEveryone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join¹ forces, none will go unpunished.

6 ^aIn mercy and truth
Atonement is provided for iniquity;
And ^bby the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.

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

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

9 ^aA man’s heart plans his way,
^bBut the Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs 16:7 >>

By mercy - By a merciful and just and faithful frame of heart and course of life. Is purged - As they qualify a man to offer up acceptable prayers to God for the pardon of his sins. By fear - By a filial reverence unto God. Depart - They are kept from abusing pardoning mercy, and from returning to folly or wickedness.
