7When a man's ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Better is a little with righteousness, Than great revenues without right.
9The heart of man deviseth his way, But the LORD establisheth his steps.
10A divine sentence is upon the lips of a king; His mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11A just balance and scales are the appointment of the LORD; All the weights of the bag are his work.
12The doing of wickedness is an abomination to kings; For by righteousness is the throne established.
13Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaketh right things.
14The wrath of a king is messengers of death; But a wise man will pacify it.
