Proverbs 16:10-15

10An oracle is on the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 will not err in judgmentH4941.

11The just balanceH6425 and scales are Jehovah's; all the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639.

12It is an abominationH8441 to kingsH4428 to commit wickednessH7562; for the throneH3678 is establishedH3559 by righteousnessH6666.

13Righteous lipsH8193 are the delightH7522 of kingsH4428, and they loveH157 him that speaketh aright.

14The fury of a kingH4428 is [as] messengersH4397 of deathH4194; but a wiseH2450 manH376 will pacify it.

15In the lightH216 of the king's countenance is lifeH2416, and his favour is as a cloudH5645 of the latter rainH4456.
