¹¹ A just balance and scales are the Lord’s;

all the weights in the bag are his work.

¹² It is an abomination to kings to do evil,

for the throne is established by righteousness.

¹³ Righteous lips are the delight of a king,

and he loves him who speaks what is right.

¹⁴ A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,

and a wise man will appease it.

¹⁵ In the light of a king’s face there is life,

and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.

¹⁶ How much better to get wisdom than gold!

To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright turns aside from evil;

whoever guards his way preserves his life.

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,

and a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹ It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor

than to divide the spoil with the proud.

²⁰ Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good,

and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.

²¹ The wise of heart is called discerning,

and sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.

²² Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it,

but the instruction of fools is folly.

²³ The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious

and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

²⁴ Gracious words are like a honeycomb,

sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
