Proverbs 16:8-14

⁸He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: And they that rightly seek him shall find peace.

⁹All 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 evildoer is an abomination to a king; For the throne of rule is established by righteousness.

¹³Righteous lips are acceptable to a king; And he loves right words.

¹⁴The anger of a king is a messenger of death; But a wise man will pacify him.
