Proverbs 16:8
King James VersionSource notes
“Better a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.”
Context
5Every one proud in heart an abomination to the LORD: hand in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD depart from evil.
7When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Better a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
10A divine sentence in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11A just weight and balance the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag his work.
