Proverbs 16:8 Context
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. 9A mans heart deuiseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. 10A diuine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in iudgement.
