8Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with lo'mishpat ·injustice·.
9A man’s heart plans his course, but Adonai directs his steps.
10Inspired charges are on the lips of the king. His mouth shall not betray his judgments.
11Mishpat ·Honest· balances and scales are Adonai ’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.
12It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
13Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They 'ahav ·affectionately love· one who speaks the truth.
14The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
15In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
