Proverbs 16:11-13
Authorized (King James) Version
11 A just weight and balance are the Lord’s:
all the weights of the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness:
for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings;
and they love him that speaketh right.
