Today’s Scripture

An oracle is on the lips of a king;
    his mouth does not sin in judgment.
A just balance and scales are the Lord’s;
    all the weights in the bag are his work.
It is an abomination to kings to do evil,
    for the throne is established by righteousness.
Righteous lips are the delight of a king,
    and he loves him who speaks what is right.
A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
    and a wise man will appease it.

— Proverbs 16:10-14
