Proverbs 16:10-19

¹⁰A diuine sentence shalbe in the lips of the King: his mouth shall not transgresse in iudgement.

¹¹A true weight and balance are of the Lord: all the weightes of the bagge are his worke.

¹²It is an abomination to Kings to commit wickednes: for the throne is stablished by iustice.

¹³Righteous lips are the delite of Kings, and the King loueth him that speaketh right things.

¹⁴The wrath of a King is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacifie it.

¹⁵In the light of the Kings coutenance is life: and his fauour is as a cloude of the latter raine.

¹⁶Howe much better is it to get wisedome then golde? and to get vnderstanding, is more to be desired then siluer.

¹⁷The pathe of the righteous is to decline from euil, and hee keepeth his soule, that keepeth his way.

¹⁸Pride goeth before destruction, and an high minde before the fall.

¹⁹Better it is to be of humble minde with the lowly, then to deuide the spoyles with the proude.
