Proverbs 16:10-13

10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth should not betray justice.

11 Honest scales and balances are from the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.

12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.

13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
they value a man who speaks the truth.
