God’s verdict is on the lips of a king; his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.Honest balances and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are His concern.Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, since a throne is established through righteousness.Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he loves one who speaks honestly.
But God says to the wicked:“ What right do you have to recite My statutes and to take My covenant on your lips?You hate instruction and turn your back on My words.
I will not set anything worthless before my eyes. I hate the practice of transgression; it will not cling to me.A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil.I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.
