7When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his haters be at peace with him.
8Better is a little with righteousness, than great wealth with wrongdoing.
9A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.
10Decision is in the lips of the king: his mouth will not go wrong in judging.
11True measures and scales are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12Evil-doing is disgusting to kings: for the seat of the ruler is based on righteousness.
13Lips of righteousness are the delight of kings; and he who says what is upright is dear to him.
14The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.
15In the light of the king's face there is life; and his approval is like a cloud of spring rain.
16How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.
