9 A person may plan his own journey,but the Lord directs his steps.
10 When a divine revelation is on a king’s lips,he cannot voice a wrong judgment.
11 Honest balances and scales belong to the Lord.He made the entire set of weights.
12 Wrongdoing is disgusting to kingsbecause a throne is established through righteousness.
13 Kings are happy with honest words,and whoever speaks what is right is loved.
14 A king’s anger announces death,but a wise man makes peace with him.
15 When the king is cheerful, there is life,and his favor is like a cloud bringing spring rain.
