¥Proverbs
16:10-15 (NIV) The lips of a king speak as an
oracle, and his mouth should not betray
justice. 11 Honest scales and balances are
from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are
of his making. 12 Kings detest wrongdoing, for
a throne is established through
righteousness. 13 Kings take pleasure in
honest lips; they value a man who speaks the
truth. 14 A king's wrath is a messenger of
death, but a wise man will appease it. 15
When a king's face brightens, it means life;
his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
