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 with injustice.
9A man's heart deviseth his way; but the LORD directeth his steps.
10A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; his mouth trespasseth not in judgment.
11A just balance and scales are the LORD'S; all the weights of the bag are His work.
12It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; for the throne is established by righteousness.
13Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death; but a wise man will pacify it.
15In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
