Proverbs 16:9-16

A man's heart deviseth his way:
But the LORD directeth his steps.
A divine sentence is in the lips of the king:
His mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
A just weight and balance are the LORD's:
All the weights of the bag are his work.
It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness:
For the throne is established by righteousness.
Righteous lips are the delight of kings;
And they love him that speaketh right.
The wrath of a king is as messengers of death:
But a wise man will pacify it.
In the light of the king's countenance is life;
And his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
