10There is an oracle upon the lips of a king; And his mouth shall not err in judgment.
11The poise of the balance is righteousness with the Lord; And his works are righteous measures.
12An evildoer is an abomination to a king; For the throne of rule is established by righteousness.
13Righteous lips are acceptable to a king; And he loves right words.
14The anger of a king is a messenger of death; But a wise man will pacify him.
15The son of a king is in the light of life; And they that are in favor with him are as a cloud of latter rain.
16The brood of wisdom is more to be chosen than gold, And the brood of prudence more to be chosen than silver.
