Proverbs 16:6 (WEB)
Context Reading
4Yahweh has made everything for its own end — yes, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh;they shall certainly not be unpunished. 6By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for.By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil. 7When a man’s ways please Yahweh,he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8Better is a little with righteousness,than great revenues with injustice.
