Proverbs 16:11 Context
9A mans heart deuiseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. 10A diuine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in iudgement. 11A iust weight and ballance are the Lords: all the weights of the bagge are his worke. 12It is an abomination to kings to commit wickednesse: for the throne is established by righteousnesse. 13Righteous lips are the delight of kings: and they loue him that speaketh right.
