Proverbs 16:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ The words of a king are like a ·message from God [oracle],
so ·his decisions should be fair [^Lhe should not betray justice with his mouth].

¹¹ The Lord wants honest balances and scales;
·all the weights are his work [^Lhe concerns himself with the weights in the pouch].

¹² Kings ·hate [detest] those who do wrong,
because ·governments only continue if they are fair [^Lin righteousness the throne is established].
