9A man’s heart deviseth his way; But Jehovah directeth his steps.
10A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; His mouth shall not transgress in judgment.
11A just balance and scales are Jehovah’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.
