Proverbs 16:10-15

10God’s verdict is on the lips of a king; his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.

11Honest balances and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his concern.

12Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, since a throne is established through righteousness.

13Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he loves one who speaks honestly.

14A king’s fury is a messenger of death, but a wise person appeases it.

15When a king’s face lights up, there is life; his favor is like a cloud with spring rain.
