16:10-26P ro v er b sThe king speaks with divine wisdom;he must never judge unfairly.The Lord demands accurate scales and balances;he sets the standards for fairness.A king detests wrongdoing,for his rule is built on justice.The king is pleased with words from righteous lips;he loves those who speak honestly.The anger of the king is a deadly threat;the wise will try to appease it.When the king smiles, there is life;his favor refreshes like a spring rain.How much better to get wisdom than gold,and good judgment than silver!The path of the virtuous leads away from evil;whoever follows that path is safe.Pride goes before destruction,and haughtiness before a fall.Better to live humbly with the poorthan to share plunder with the proud.Those who listen to instruction will prosper;those who trust the Lord will be joyful.The wise are known for their understanding,and pleasant words are persuasive.Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it,but discipline is wasted on fools.From a wise mind comes wise speech;the words of the wise are persuasive.Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.There is a path before each person that seems right,but it ends in death.It is good for workers to have an appetite;an empty stomach drives them on.223
