Proverbs 16:10-16 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

10. Divination is in the lips of the king, his mouth shall not err in judgment.

11. Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.

12. They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice.

13. Just lips are the delight of kings: he that speaketh right things shall be loved.

14. The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: and the wise man will pacify it.

15. In the cheerfulness of the king's countenance is life: and his clemency is like the latter rain.

16. Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver.
