Proverbs 16:6

⁴ The LORD has made everything for His purpose— even the wicked for the day of disaster.

⁵ Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.

By loving devotion and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns aside from evil.

⁷ When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even the man’s enemies live at peace with him.

⁸ Better a little with righteousness than great gain with injustice.
