Proverbs 16:10-15

Proverbs 16:10-15 NET

The divine verdict is in the words of the king, his pronouncements must not act treacherously against justice. Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are his handiwork. Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, because a throne is established in righteousness. The delight of kings is righteous counsel, and they love the one who speaks uprightly. A king’s wrath is like a messenger of death, but a wise person appeases it. In the light of the king’s face there is life, and his favor is like the clouds of the spring rain.
