9 Le cœur de l’homme médite sa voie, Mais c’est l’Éternel qui dirige ses pas.

10 Des oracles sont sur les lèvres du roi: Sa bouche ne doit pas être infidèle quand il juge.

11 Le poids et la balance justes sont à l’Éternel; Tous les poids du sac sont son ouvrage.

12 Les rois ont horreur de faire le mal, Car c’est par la justice que le trône s’affermit.

13 Les lèvres justes gagnent la faveur des rois, Et ils aiment celui qui parle avec droiture.
