Proverbs 16:11

JusticeIntegrityMoney and wealth

9 A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

10 A divine verdict is on the lips of a king; his mouth must not betray justice.

Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are His concern.

12 Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, for a throne is established through righteousness.

13 Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he who speaks honestly is beloved.
