Proverbs 16:10-20

Proverbs 16:10-20 CSB

God’s verdict is on the lips of a king; , his mouth should not give an unfair judgment. Honest balances and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his concern. Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, since a throne is established through righteousness. Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he loves one who speaks honestly. A king’s fury is a messenger of death, but a wise person appeases it. When a king’s face lights up, there is life; his favor is like a cloud with spring rain. Get wisdom — how much better it is than gold! And get understanding — it is preferable to silver. The highway of the upright avoids evil; the one who guards his way protects his life. Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly of spirit with the humble , than to divide plunder with the proud. The one who understands a matter finds success, and the one who trusts in the Lord will be happy.
