Proverbs 16:10-12
New American Standard Bible 1995

10 A divine (A)decision is in the lips of the king;
His mouth should not [a]err in judgment.
11 A (B)just balance and scales belong to the Lord;
All the [b]weights of the bag are His [c]concern.
12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts,
For a (C)throne is established on righteousness.
