Proverbs 16:10-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

10. God’s verdict is on the lips of a king; his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.

11. Honest balances and scales are the Lord’s;all the weights in the bag are His concern.

12. Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, since a throne is established through righteousness.

13. Righteous lips are a king’s delight,and he loves one who speaks honestly.
