Proverbs 16:6 Context
4The Lord hath made all things for himselfe: yea, euen the wicked for the day of euill. 5Euery one that is proud in heart, is an abomination to the Lord: though hand ioyne in hand, he shall not be vnpunished. 6By mercy and trueth iniquitie is purged: and by the feare of the Lord, men depart from euill. 7When a mans wayes please the Lord, he maketh euen his enemies to be at peace with him. 8Better is a little with righteousnesse, then great reuenewes without right.
