American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
{Hebrew: Divination.}A divine sentence is in the lips of the king;His mouth shall not transgress in judgment.
A just balance and scales are Jehovah'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 favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
