9The heart of man disposeth his way: but the Lord must direct his steps.
10Divination is in the lips of the king, his mouth shall not err in judgment.
11Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.
12They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice.
13Just lips are the delight of kings: he that speaketh right things shall be loved.
14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: and the wise man will pacify it.
