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

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

9. A man’s heart plans his way,But the Lord directs his steps.

10. Divination is on the lips of the king;His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
