11. A just weight and balance belong to the Lord;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 who speaks right.

14. The wrath of a king is as messengers of death,but a wise man will pacify it.

15. In the light of the king’s countenance is life,and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
