Proverbs 16:10-15

10A divineH7081 sentenceH4941 is in the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 shall notH3808 transgress in judgmentH4941.

11A justH4941 balanceH6425 and scalesH3976 are the LORD’SH3068: allH3605 the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639.

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

13RighteousH6664 lipsH8193 are the delightH7522 or kingsH4428; and they loveH157 him that speaketh rightH3477.

14The wrathH2534 of a kingH4428 is as messengersH4397 of deathH4194: but a wiseH2450 manH376 will pacify it.

15In the lightH216 of the king’sH4428 countenanceH6440 is lifeH2416; and his favour is as a cloudH5645 of the latterH4456 rainH4456.
