4 The Lord has wrought all things because of himself. Likewise the impious is for the evil day.
5 All the arrogant are an abomination to the Lord. Even if hand will be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice. And this is more acceptable with God than to immolate sacrifices.
6 By mercy and truth, iniquity is redeemed. And by the fear of the Lord, one turns away from evil.
7 When the ways of man will please the Lord, he will convert even his enemies to peace.
8 Better is a little with justice, than many fruits with iniquity.
