Proverbs 16:10-15

10A divine verdictH7081 is onH5921 the lipsH8193 of a kingH4428; his mouthH6310 must notH3808 betrayH4603 justiceH4941.

11HonestH4941 scalesH6425 and balancesH3976 are from the LORDH3068;allH3605 the weightsH68 in the bagH3599 are His concernH4639.
12WickedH7562 behaviorH6213 is detestableH8441 for kingsH4428,forH3588 a throneH3678 is establishedH3559 through righteousnessH6666.
13RighteousH6664 lipsH8193 are a king’sH4428 delightH7522,and he who speaksH1696 honestlyH3477 is belovedH157.
14The wrathH2534 of a kingH4428 is a messengerH4397 of deathH4194,but a wiseH2450 manH376 will pacify itH3722.
15When a king’sH4428 faceH6440 brightensH216, there is lifeH2416;his favorH7522 is like a rain cloudH5645 in springH4456.
