- 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.
|
- In the light of a king's face is life, And his favor is like a cloud with the spring rain.
- How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
- The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who watches his way preserves his life.
- Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
- It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
