Proverbs
Chapters 16:10-16
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
10When a king speaks, his words are law. So when he makes a decision, it is never a mistake.
11The Lord wants all scales and balances to be right; he wants all business agreements to be fair.
12Kings hate to see anyone doing wrong, because kingdoms grow strong only when everyone is honest and fair.
13Kings want to hear the truth. They like those who are honest.
14When a king gets angry, he can put someone to death. So it is wise to keep the king happy.
15When the king is happy, life is better for everyone. When he is pleased, it is like a refreshing spring rain.
16Wisdom is worth much more than gold. Understanding is worth much more than silver.
