Wisdom for Kings and Rulers
Proverbs 16:10-15
10
¶ A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11
¶ A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12
¶ It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13
¶ Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14
¶ The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15
In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
