Young's Literal Translation
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
11 A just beam and balances [are] Jehovah`s, His work [are] all the stones of the bag.
12 An abomination to kings [is] doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.
13 The delight of kings [are] righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,
14 The fury of a king [is] messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.
15 In the light of a king`s face [is] life, And his good-will [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
17 A highway of the upright [is], `Turn from evil,` Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
