8Better to have just a little and be honest than to have a lot and be dishonest.
9You can plan in your mind what to do, but the Lord will guide you.
10The king is inspired in what he says; he is not unreliable in his decisions.
11Accurate scales and balances are important to the Lord. He has determined all the weights in the bag.
12It's a terrible thing for a king to do evil, for his throne is based on doing right.
13People who tell the truth please kings; they love those who say what is right.
14An angry king can put you to death. If you're wise you'll try and calm him down.
