Proverbs 16:5-12

⁵Every one that is proud in heart is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless. The beginning of a good way is to do justly; and it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices. He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: and they that rightly seek him shall find peace. All of the works of the Lord are done with righteousness; and the ungodly man is kept for the evil day.

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 evil-doer is an abomination to a king; for the throne of rule is established by righteousness.
