Proverbs 16:6
In mercy and truth
Atonement is provided for iniquity;
And by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.
The great principle of the fear of the Lord is not only the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7, 9:10), it is also the foundation of a God-honoring life. To live in the fear of the Lord is to depart from evil.
‘By mercy and truth he shall atone for iniquity.’ He-God, by his mercy, in sending his son Jesus into the world,-’shall make an atonement for iniquity’ according to his truth-the word which he declared by his holy prophets since the world began.” (Clarke)
