Proverbs 29:14

It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
