Proverbs 16:5

PrideJudgment

3 Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved.

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

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

6 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.
