11Honest balances and scales are the LORD’s; all the weights in the bag are his work. 12It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
13Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
After · Proverbs 16:14–15
14The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it. 15In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
