7 When one’s ways are pleasing to Adonai, he makes even his enemies be at peace with him.
8 Better a little with righteousness than much income without justice.
9 The heart of man plans his course, but Adonai directs his steps.
10 An oracle is on the lips of the king— let his mouth never be treacherous in judgment.
11 Honest balances and scales are Adonai’s. All the weights in a bag are His handiwork.
12 Wrongdoing is an abomination to kings, for a throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings. He loves those who speak honestly.
