Proverbs 16:8-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

8. Better is a little, with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.

9. A man’s heart deviseth his way; But Jehovah directeth his steps.

10. A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; His mouth shall not transgress in judgment.

11. A just balance and scales are Jehovah’s; All the weights of the bag are his work.

12. It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; For the throne is established by righteousness.

13. Righteous lips are the delight of kings; And they love him that speaketh right.
