Proverbs 16:8-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

8. Better is a little with righteousness Than great income with injustice.

9. The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

10. A divine decision is in the lips of the king; His mouth should not err in judgment.

11. A just balance and scales belong to the Lord; All the weights of the bag are His concern.

12. It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, For a throne is established on righteousness.

13. Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And he who speaks right is loved.

14. The fury of a king is like messengers of death, But a wise man will appease it.
