8 Better is a little with righteousness,Than vast revenues without justice.
9 A man’s heart plans his way,But the Lord directs his steps.
10 Divination is on the lips of the king;His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
11 Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s;All the weights in the bag are His work.
12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,For a throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings,And they love him who speaks what is right.
14 As messengers of death is the king’s wrath,But a wise man will appease it.
