Proverbs 16:5-7
Amplified Bible

5 
Everyone who is proud and arrogant in heart is disgusting and exceedingly offensive to the Lord;
Be assured he will not go unpunished.(A)
6 
By mercy and lovingkindness and truth [not superficial ritual] wickedness is cleansed from the heart,
And by the fear of the Lord one avoids evil.
7 
When a man’s ways please the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
