Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, for a throne is made firm by righteousness.
In context
10An oracle is on the lips of the king; his mouth must not betray justice. 11Scale and honest balances belong to Yahweh; all the weights in the bag are his work. 12Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, for a throne is made firm by righteousness. 13Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he loves the one who speaks what is right. 14A king’s fury is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it.
