By kindness and faithfulness guilt is covered over, and by the fear of Yahweh a man turns from evil.
In context
4Yahweh has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of disaster. 5Every proud heart is an abomination to Yahweh; be sure of it, he will not go unpunished. 6By kindness and faithfulness guilt is covered over, and by the fear of Yahweh a man turns from evil. 7When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies be at peace with him. 8Better a little with righteousness than a great harvest without justice.
