11 ¹A 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 ²the throne is established by righteousness.

13 ³Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ⁴A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ⁵appease it.

15 ⁶In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ⁷favor is like ⁸the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ⁹How much better to get wisdom than ¹⁰gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ¹¹silver.

17 The highway of the upright ¹²turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ¹³Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ¹⁴It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ¹⁵divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹⁶will discover good, and blessed is he ¹⁷who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ¹⁸increases persuasiveness.
