King James Bible
"When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."
This phrase emphasizes living in alignment with God's moral will and commands. In Hebrew wisdom literature, "ways" refers to one's entire life conduct and choices, suggesting that divine approval comes from consistent righteous behavior rather than isolated acts. God actively intervenes to transform hostile relationships when someone walks uprightly. The word "even" underscores the surprising nature of this promise—that those who would naturally oppose us can become peaceful through divine influence, demonstrating God's sovereignty over human hearts and relationships.
