- The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth should not betray justice.
- Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are of his making.
- Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.
- Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth.
- A king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it.
|
- When a king's face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
- How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!
- The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life.
- Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
- Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.
