Proverbs 16:8-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. Better a little with righteousnessthan great profits without justice.

9. People plan their path,but the Lord secures their steps.

10. A king’s speech is like an oracle;in a judgment, one can’t go against his words.

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

12. Kings detest wicked deeds,for their thrones are founded on righteousness.
