Proverbs 16:8

xBetter is a little with righteousness

than great revenues with injustice.


Proverbs 16:10

10  aAn oracle is on the lips of a king;

his mouth does not sin in judgment.


Proverbs 16:12–15

12  It is an abomination to kings to do evil,

for cthe throne is established by righteousness.

13  dRighteous lips are the delight of a king,

and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14  eA king’s wrath is a messenger of death,

and a wise man will fappease it.

15  gIn the light of a king’s face there is life,

and his dfavor is like hthe clouds that bring the spring rain.
