proverbs 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. - Free Bible Online

proverbs 16:6 By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for, And by the fear of the LORD one keeps away from evil.


      6. By mercy and truth--that is, God's (Ps 85:10); He effects the atonement, or covering of sin; and the principles of true piety incline men to depart from evil; or, "mercy" and "truth" may be man's, indicative of the gracious tempers which work instrumentally in procuring pardon.
      purged--expiated (as in Le 16:33; Isa 27:9, Hebrew).
