7 When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.
8 Better 'is' a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.
9 The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.
10 An oath 'is' on the lips of a king, In judgment his mouth trespasseth not.
