- A divine decision is in the lips of the king; His mouth should not err in judgment.
- A just balance and scales belong to the LORD; All the weights of the bag are His concern.
- It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, For a throne is established on righteousness.
- Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And he who speaks right is loved.
- The fury of a king is like messengers of death, But a wise man will appease it.
