Proverbs 16:8

In context

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. 9A man’s heart plans his way, but Yahweh makes his step secure. 10An oracle is on the lips of the king; his mouth must not betray justice.
