10 ¹An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.

11 ²A just balance and scales are the LORD's; all the weights in the bag are his work.

12 It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for ³the throne is established by righteousness.

13 ⁴Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ⁵A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ⁶appease it.

15 ⁷In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ⁸favor is like ⁹the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ¹⁰How much better to get wisdom than ¹¹gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ¹²silver.

17 The highway of the upright ¹³turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ¹⁴Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ¹⁵It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ¹⁶divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹⁷will discover good, and blessed is he ¹⁸who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ¹⁹increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ²⁰a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ²¹The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ²²Gracious words are like ²³a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ²⁴health to the body.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.^b

26 A worker's appetite works for him; his ²⁵mouth urges him on.

27 ²⁶A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ²⁷a scorching fire.

28 ²⁸A dishonest man spreads strife, and ²⁹a whisperer ³⁰separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ³¹entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d³²dishonest things; he who ³³purses his lips brings evil to pass.
