Proverbs 16:11-15 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

11. Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;all the weights in the bag are of his making.

12. Kings detest wrongdoing,for a throne is established through righteousness.

13. Kings take pleasure in honest lips;they value the one who speaks what is right.

14. A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,but the wise will appease it.

15. When a king’s face brightens, it means life;his favour is like a rain cloud in spring.
