Proverbs 16:10-15

10The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth does not betray justice.

11Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of his making.

12Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.

13Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value the one who speaks what is right.

14A king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but the wise will appease it.

15When a king’s face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
